This ambitious special, originally broadcast on December 10, 1972, uses a Christmas caroling motif to introduce inventive sequences of song and dance featuring guest stars Sally Struthers, David Hartman, and dancer Edward Villella. Hartman, who made his Broadway debut in the original production of Hello, Dolly in 1964, shows off his singing chops in a medley from Scrooge (1970). Struthers, then in her second season as Gloria on All In The Family, joins him for a musical take on The Gift Of The Magi. And Bing closes the show by leading the ensemble in a fireside rendition of “White Christmas.”
