Welcome back to my Countdown to Christmas. For the first weekend of December, we're going to get kitchy with the Donny and Marie Osmond Christmas show from 1977!
In the late 70s, Donny and Marie were everywhere. They were huge TV stars and the go-to entertainers of mainstream America at a time when anything "wholesome" was considered square by those with hipper tastes. Nevertheless, the brother-sister duo were immensely successful, and their Christmas shows were big holiday draws.
In this 1977 installment, the duo perform together as well as with their other siblings in Christmas song standards, with a comedic appearance by regular Osmond guest star Paul Lynde.
Enjoy! Get your jingle on this weekend! It's the holiday season after all!
Definitely a big retro flashback! Pluto or Tubi should have a channel or something just dedicated to airing variety shows and specials from the 70s!
