Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special (1988)

Member Rating:

The secret word is "Happy New Year" as Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) and the Playhouse gang hold a Christmas party. Things threaten to get out of hand fairly early as the increasingly disappointed Pee-Wee receives one fruitcake after another. When he complains that he didn't get anything he really wanted, our hero learns an important lesson about sharing from none other than Santa Claus. Among Pee-wee's special guests are singers k.d. lang, Grace Jones, Dinah Shore, and the Del Rubio Triplets, "Beach Party" perennials Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon (who'd recently costarred with Pee-wee in the theatrical film Back at the Beach), the outrageous Little Richard (on ice-skates!) and such pop-culture giants as Oprah Winfrey, Charo, Cher, Joan Rivers, Magic Johnson, and even Zsa Zsa Gabor. Pee-wee Herman's Christmas Special first aired December 21, 1988 on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

My family always loved Peewee's Playhouse and the Christmas Special is the icing on the cake. It was such a treat to see all those guest stars like Little Richard, Dinah Shore, Zaa Zaa Gabor, Annette and Frankie again. If you liked the Playhouse you're gonna love this special. Thank you so much BB for adding this one on.

Lanore is right, the guest celebrities are amazing on this, Grace Jones, KD Lang, Oprah, Charo, we also thank BB for offering this movie it provided a fun evening of our family. (I was prohibited from putting the name of the lead character in my title, I was told "Please remove offensive words from your review and review title". Can you believe that?)
