Back in 1962, the popular singer Andy Williams, released a special Christmas edition of his usual weekly series The Andy Williams Show. It was an hour-long production filled with wonderful Christmas songs and visits from Bette Davis, the New Christy Minstrels, Debbie Reynolds, and the Osbond brothers. The show was such a hit that many other Andy Williams Christmas Shows were filmed in the coming decade, but I think the 1966 special one stands out as something extra special.
This one featured Andy singing Christmas tunes that would soon become famous for him: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and We Need a Little Christmas. It also featured beautiful renditions of The Christmas Song, Love in a Home, and My Favorite Things (performed with his wife Claudine Longet). Andy's parents come to visit, he sings Christmas medleys with his brothers, and lastly the Osbond Brothers so a wonderful Peppermint factory dance routine to Whistle While You Work. Overall, it's just an entertaining way to spend an hour this Christmas....so check it out! The link is down below or you can view it above.
Merry Christmas, dear readers!
