An American Idol Christmas (also titled A Very Idol Christmas in Canada) is a Christmas television special for the television shows "American Idol", "American Juniors" and "Canadian Idol", but focused mostly on "American Idol"– the Canadian winner Ryan Malcolm was edited out in the American release, due to legal reasons.
 The special was broadcast on the Fox television network in the United States and CTV in Canada.
 It was first broadcast on November 25, 2003 in the United States.
 It featured some of the top finalists of American Idol's first season (Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra Gray, Christina Christian) and second season (Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Kimberley Locke); "Canadian Idol" winner Ryan Malcolm (not shown in American version due to the upcoming World Idol); and the American Juniors.
 Since the episode was not a competition, none of the judges appeared because they were working on the next season's contestants.
 It was directed by Bruce Gowers, produced by 19 Entertainment, Fremantle Media North America, Cécile Frot-Coutaz, Simon Fuller, David Goffin, Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick.

American Juniors is an American reality television singing competition series that was broadcast for one season, in 2003, on the Fox Network.
 The series was a spin-off of "American Idol", but with younger contestants, and had the same production team as "American Idol": it was created by Simon Fuller and 19 Entertainment, along with FremantleMedia, and directed by Bruce Gowers, and produced by Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick.
 However, unlike "American Idol", the goal of the competition was not to find a single winner, but rather to create a singing group of five of the contestants.
 In this way, "American Juniors" more closely resembled the British series "S Club Search", which had produced the group "S Club Juniors".

DialIdol is both the name of a computer program for Microsoft Windows and its associated website that tracks voting trends for "American Idol" contestants.
 The program allows users to automatically vote for the "American Idol" contestants of their choice using their PC's modem.

 DialIdol assumes that more busy signals means more callers are attempting to vote for that contestant.
