Our Favorite Christmas TV Episodes of All Time
Pee Wee’s Christmas Special – 1988
Every single year, without fail, my family gathers ’round for our annual screening of Christmas in the Playhouse, arguably the apex of Pee Wee’s entire TV career. There’s plenty of Christmas magic to go around (as well as some helpful notes on Hanukkah), but mainly, the list of guest stars includes Grace Jones, Frankie and Annette, Magic Johnson, Cher, Oprah, Laurence Fishburne, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Charro, among many, many others. The whole thing is a Christmas tour de force like no other. – Virginia
