Because of the circumstances leading up to it and the on pitch happenings (goals, penalties, red cards and and great commitment from our team) I reckon the Boxing Days match against Harrogate takes some beating.
I've seen every home league game since last Boxing Day and can't think of a better one - would others agree?
Best game at Blackwell Meadows in a year?

We’ve had a couple of excellent performances at Blackwell, but the timing, and sheer relief, with Boxing Day made it feel much more significant.

The Halifax home game was much better imo.

Dont do many home games due to the distance but Stockport would have been brilliant if not for the last minute equaliser. Brown and Turnbull stepping up to the plate.

Halifax home game for me, just the whole coming back to Darlo, full house and a win on Boxing Day.
Hopefully we will get more, Halifax and Harrogate type games.

Shame that only 1759 hardy souls saw the match and also on the stream of 'fans' who left before the final whistle. Not sure why folk do this, perhaps to catch a bus? Can't be to jump in car as parking is not opened. Were they dashing down the pub to spread the word of the Christmas miracle? Probably not (sadly).
The very least the team deserved after beating Harrogate was a standing ovation from the Tin Shed.
Great effort from the team which I hope will continue to repeat in the rest of the season.
