HOT GALLERY: 10 of Our Favorite Celebrity Christmas Specials, Past and Present
Ah, the holidays. Time for glad tidings, mistletoe... and television. Back in the day, there were more celebrities on TV during the holidays than there are now in a single episode of TMZ. We picked a few of our favorite Christmas specials from the past umpteen years—Bob Hope, Captain and Tennille, the Muppets, even Stephen Colbert. We've even got a way for you to get a new Christmas song from Donny Osmond for free via e-mail, and news about Chewbacca making an appearance on Glee. Merry Christmas, television fans!

A Solid Gold Christmas
Solid Gold may seem very ’70s, but it actually took over the airwaves in the ’80s, and every year they served up a Christmas special. This clip features Peter, Paul and Mary engaging in a “practice called wassailing,” as hostess with the mostest Marilyn McCoo put it. But you may want to start at the beginning and watch the intro, which shows stars such as John Schneider, Marie Osmond, Laura Branigan, and our favorites, Wayland Flowers and Madam. (Don’t know who half of those folks are? It’s okay. We do.) Oh, and make sure to stick around to see the Solid Gold Dancers. Oh, yes.
