Christmas Night Videos: Relive the 1977 and 1978 Christmas specials from The Carpenters
Love the guest lists on these specials: Gene Kelly, Kristy McNichol and her brother Jimmy, Georgia Engel and Harvey Korman, among others.
The Carpenters at Christmas aired in 1977 and was Richard and Karen Carpenter’s second TV special and first one for Christmas. The Carpenters: A Christmas Portrait aired a year later in 1978. It was Richard and Karen’s fourth TV special and second and final one for Christmas. Many of the songs were from Spike Jones’ 1956 Xmas Spectacular which Karen and Richard listened to as children, as were the songs on their album from that year, Christmas Portrait.
