n an episode from "The Julie Andrews Hour," Julie Andrews treats Jimmy Stewart to a musical tour of a traditional English/ Dickens Christmas. Then Jimmy returns the favor, taking Julie through a visit to a small-town American Christmas. Musical skits include Alice Ghostley as Bob Cratchitt with Rich Little as Scrooge (by way of his Jack Benny impression), Christmas Past ( a la WC Fields), and Christmas Yet to Come. Julie does her joyous "Jingle Bells" (wait for that last note!). She's joined by singing and dancing Santas, with choreography that's part chimney sweep, part Rockettes. An all-star guest cast of notable singers includes Dan Daily, Sergio Franchi, Carl Reiner (yes, singing), Steve Lawrence, Cass Elliott, and Joel Grey. Also not to be missed is Jimmy's chat with his "nephew" Rich, who does a spot-on Stewart impression. Julie also solos or leads the cast in a variety of Christmas hymns and carols.
