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!

The Donny and Marie Christmas Special
“These are the mountains of Utah.” Those words, spoken in dulcet tones by Mr. Donny Osmond, introduced TV viewers to Christmas, Osmond-family style, back in 1978. The brother-and-sister act are still going strong and still celebrating Christmas with their fans, this year in Chicago with the aptly named Donny & Marie—Christmas in Chicago. According to the Chicago Tribune, Donny has written a new Christmas song and will e-mail it to you for free. Just send a message to [email protected] and an MP3 will soon arrive in your in-box. (We tried it, and it worked. Woo-hoo!)
