Martha Stewart Christmas Special 1995 90s - Home for the Holidays w/ her Mom, Ms Piggy & Julia Child

[@grettalemabouchou6779]

Martha's sister sounds exactly like her! What a delight! Settling in to view classic Martha! My cousin went to High School with her in Nutley NJ.😊

[@kimberly1483]

Christmas back then feels so magical and warm. Nowadays feels cold and all about hoarding more stuff

[@janicebelcher2829]

Those were the great ol' days! Sure do miss those holiday specials and Martha's daily shows. Many have tried to imitate, but none come close to her content and aspiring recipes and craft ideas.

[@emilinebelle7811]

Agreed. I wish I could relive the old days. I hate the culture as it is now.

[@buickinvicta288]

Agree!

[@foreverandalways3305]

I think the pretty old houses she had in her background helped a lot with all the beautiful decor...

[@RoseWestfall]

I wish they would put her back on tv. They show all kinds of old shows.

[@annsmith7207]

"Big Martha" was such a lovely, gracious person and so practical. Just wonderful. Rest in peace!

[@riel1869]

Yes! She is just like my own grandmother too.

[@KristynLorraine]

I remember once she gave Martha a look for using a grater to shred cabbage and I thought, yup that's how that generation of grandmas was. They could make anything with one knife.

[@alison2649]

Wow in ‘95 I was so young and poor I had never even heard of Martha! I didn’t even have a tv for awhile there…but by ‘99 I was starting a family and had my first born and discovered Martha. She taught me how to cook! And how to take pride in my surroundings.

[@gerardkiff2026]

Love the commercials. Really brings you back.

[@infonut]

$29,5 for a LandRover. Where have the years gone.

[@susanschultz8182]

I love to watch the Martha shows. Especially during Christmas! How I miss her shows!❤❤❤

[@Bruno-Bittar]

Martha at its best. Bossing people around with majesty

[@DD-hy1nl]

I loved that old home Martha had in Connecticut, she did many T.V. Specials from that old home. Those old shows were so warm and cozy. They were so much more warm and cozy than the new shows Martha does now. I kind a miss that about Martha and her shows now. It always feels like there is something missing. I can see why now, those old shows are what made Martha a domestic homemaker star. Thanks for sharing this with us, it brings back happier times. When life in our country was peaceful at the holidays...P.S. I love the old T.V. commercials left in this video!

[@marydevlin3909]

I agree completely! I’ll never forget a thanksgiving special she did from the old home.around 1985 or 1986. Nothing inspired me the way that special did! Wish I could find it again.

[@DD-hy1nl]

@@marydevlin3909 I think I know which one you are referring to. I remember at Thanksgiving show where Martha put I think bay leaf under the skin of the turkey. It looked so pretty how she did that. And she showed us all her antique collection of butter turkey molds. And her beautiful dining room set up all for Thanksgiving. She served soup in glass turkey shaped bowls with the lids. I think this might be the show you might be thinking of. Or maybe not, Martha did many holidays specials back then. But I think it's on You Tube. You may have to type in what you're looking for.

[@Pippa-pw3qw]

Turkey Hill was her home that she brought to life for her family 🦃 Martha Stewart Living was her first TV series ❤️ l loved when her Mother Big Martha would visit 🌹 Wonderful entertainment 🎯

[@KristynLorraine]

I hated the show that came after with the inept celebrities and laughing studio audience. I thought, bring back that gorgeous house and those fluffy dogs.

[@ann5765]

Loved Martha in the 90s and I still do! Love how she loves Christmas!!!

[@janetower546]

Not watching anything with the wicked witch Hillary!

[@MzLockSteady]

I just wish life was the way it was back then. Everything seemed so much less complicated!

[@marlenewaraksa8756]

Boy Martha I remember your shows like they were yesterday Great memories thank you always

[@TheMunkzilla1]

The VHS tracking on the bottom makes this even more perfect!

[@emilinebelle7811]

Yes it does.

[@sheilac1845]

When you're poor you watch stuff like this while doing your Dollar Tree Christmas hacks 🙃 I'm not doing much this year other than being grateful and enjoying loved ones company, keeping it super simple Merry Christmas 🎄🕊️🙏💟✝️

[@mariekendall5471]

The best Christmas sentiments are what you described! Unfortunately, commercialism can (if allowed) take over Christmas.

[@dave21802180]

I’m sure your family is happy and proud. I wish you the very best this year and every year.

[@trilbywilby7826]

Pier 1 commercial!!! How I miss that wonderful store. It was in my town for decades, surviving all kinds of ups and downs, till the lockdowns killed it. Thanks for uploading this beautiful, nostalgic trip back in time.

[@chrismcpherson1586]

Dear Martha you have truly inspired our family when it comes to Christmas. I inherited our family historic home. Over the yrs it has been decorated using your ideas and mine. One tradition that is kept is our Jacqueline Kennedy Christmas tree. We also have extensive landscaping. Because of you and adding my own ideas our home is beautiful. Thank you so much for being such a inspiration to me

[@gracemadej5564]

She inspired so many people with elegant and taste ❤

[@cantocant2346]

Martha overseeing her sweat shop LOL Thank you for the video!

[@mkwats5375]

Love this! I hosted a Martha ornament exchange party that year complete with the sugared fruit stacked pedestals. Thanks so much!

[@jillparks]

So comforting watching specials from my teens. I keep forgetting how adorable Julia Child was in her elder years.

[@chrismcpherson1586]

Hi Martha over the yrs i have made so many Christmas decorations using your ideas & adding some of mine. Each yr i add a new craft. The coffee filter wreaths are beautiful in our kitchen & breakfast nook. I have a large 14 room historic home.and we love decorating it. 🎄🎅🎄

[@supermom-nocape9831]

I've been hoping to find this Christmas special. We had recorded it at the time and used to watch it every Christmas. This brought back so many memories! Thank you for sharing it! We need shows that feel like this now!

[@brittxok1]

Loved revisiting this and even the old commercials!

[@pattim9617]

This brought back wonderful Christmas memories of watching this with my mother many years ago. I miss those days. Thank you for sharing this.

[@melg6902]

Great memories. My mom & I never missed a Martha Christmas special.

[@lancedukel3436]

This is so iconic, Martha, Julia, Hillary and Miss Piggy! I'm dying. Thanks for this and Merry Christmas! 😀

[@sheilac1845]

Killery? 😱 👹

[@sheilac1845]

Is she in this

[@blugreen123]

I remember watching this with my mom. 😊

[@rebeccae.5217]

I just love the contrast between the croquembouches, as if each embodies their creator. Julia Child's is endearing and human. Martha's is impressively - almost dauntingly - perfect. I remember watching this scene when it aired.

[@heatherthomas7821]

Thank you so much for posting this! I saw this when it aired and have been looking for it for years! I love Julia and Martha making the croquembouche.

[@ashleyvashley]

what a charming video! thank you for uploading it

[@eeccee11]

😢I miss the 90s❤

[@thewrongmissy7653]

Makes me nostalgic 😢

[@DaisyOh]

Thanks for uploading, this was really fun to watch! I really enjoyed the commercials, too. Total 90s nostalgia.

[@ashleybunify]

Thank you very much for uploading this.

[@vmilu9653]

Martha changed a lot, became very sophisticated and distanced herself from the public. Turkey Hill's martha was sensational!

[@robertwallerjr.]

Always thought she should have kept doing these specials instead of a daily TV show.

[@bbrown333]

The Celestial Seasonings commercial had me cracking up!

[@aliceedinburgh9203]

Right? Jeez lady, get a therapist!

[@paigerosner8574]

this video unraveled treasure after treasure!

[@brendanjamieson]

Oh man I've been slowly collection these specials for years. Thanks so much for posting this!

[@benkoster6334]

Merry Christmas,Martha Stewart

[@Jonnie_Rich]

3:24 Martha, smizing and looking so fierce when says " 24 inch gauged wire " 🤣

[@Brogrl]

Yes, and then that serve by the cat - not to be outdone! Only a Martha cat 😂

[@scotthorn-jones1136]

Vintage Martha - she was awesome

[@CM-ho5ic]

I loved shows when Martha's mother was on. Every Christmas l make their nut ball cookies

[@HerAeolianHarp]

Thank you for a great upload. I so enjoy her older shows.

[@SilvanaDRavenna]

The Miss Piggy part is hysterical!

[@celestialskye1]

Thank you for sharing this with us 🎄☃️🎄✨

[@baritonebynight]

Julia Child recalled the moment when she made a croquembouche with Martha Stewart. She said "Her's looked beautiful, mine looked awful!" I don't think Julia's looked bad at all......sure looked better than the one I tried to make!

[@eclairtreo]

That was so hilarious our entire family was in tears. My dad said Poor Julia, hers looks like a dung heap.

[@JoeHollywood22]

LOVING THIS!!

[@rosastratton4169]

Builder Ben has saved the day, and she does all the work 🤣, she's such control freak 😬

[@possumclovett1549]

Hi Martha the Christmas decorations are beautiful they give a warm fuzzy feeling just in time for the holidays possum 💖🌲⛄

[@mJazzle]

“It only took 15,000 man hours to make” 😂😂😂

[@TheSwissChalet]

Right!? Martha and her staff of 500 people doing it all for her...makes it all look sooooo easy!

[@mrspamsmith]

What a treasure the two Martha videos are. These old Holiday specials are so comforting. Any chance you have her holiday video (I think it was for pbs from 1990)? She has long hair and she is making potpourri.

[@garykirk9888]

Love Martha Stewart

[@stevenlevasee6742]

The silver pipecleaner ice cicles. LOVE

[@lisagialucci2296]

Beautiful

[@Chillmax]

Not that I would ever want to correct Martha, but as a Brit, you can make both Christmas cake & puddings, not weeks, or months in advance but even years. The secret is the alcohol, it keeps them perfectly and they're actually better between 12 to 24 months aged. Yuletide Greetings To All.

[@tiffanya83]

🎄🤶🌾🍭🧁🎂❄☃️Merry Christmas!

[@mistyowings5579]

Yesssssss!!!!

[@eduardovega3205]

Does anyone know who sings this version of "I'll be home for Christmas"? I tried with Shazam and nothing came up :(

[@seasonalliving2881]

Where is the sound?

[@nikiegirl369]

Martha was much more relatable then….

[@justinhunt2145]

There's no sound

[@pennysue8926]

Hillary.... ??? No way... no how! Then or now!

[@jaredjlinden]

What about Christmas special where she did the whole thing topless?

[@AniMerci]

I remember when she left prison in Virginia on a private jet.

[@rah62]

Ugh - food porn and decor porn, designed to intimate the rest of us mere mortals who didn't have a staff of 100 and a budget of millions.

[@BeautifulGood713]

That’s how you took it? relax friend. It’s not supposed to make you feel inferior it’s supposed to inspire you go buy stuff to make yourself

[@mitchhobock683]

To many commercials

[@debusen81]

Ok miss piggy was right. Ben is a stud.

[@debbiehall7016]

Yeah, she's sweet alright

[@catlady5862]

The sound quality isn't very good . The show itself is fine it's just the sound that isn't.

[@TheSwissChalet]

The absurdity of all that would be required to reproduce Martha's creations...who has that kind of time and money?! No one I know! Nevertheless, we relished in the fantasy she provided! She said to make the croquembouche 2 to 3 hours before the party...lol...yeah, right! Not everyone has a staff of 500 like you do, Martha! lol

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Martha bossy as always.

[@baritonebynight]

She knows better than to boss Julia Child around!

[@nikkipage9132]

What a waste of food. All that fruit is going in the garbage.

[@Mary-vt8wj]

Gia is beautiful

[@denisekuhlman5865]

Excited until I saw killary was in the show.

[@fp5495]

This looks like it was recorded in 1965, not '95. My lord technology has advanced briskly, since.

[@emilinebelle7811]

But the quality hasn’t, unfortunately.

[@emilinebelle7811]

This shit, including the commercials made me feel cozy and safe.

[@duane_313]

It’s an old damaged vhs tape…

[@TheSwissChalet]

@@emilinebelle7811 lol, Martha's gonna protect you!

[@antoniouresti8753]

Martha thinks all we are rich?

[@emilinebelle7811]

Middle class people use to exist. Now it’s mostly just elites and peasants. America has fallen since the NWO.

[@BeautifulGood713]

We have Dollar stores now. You have no excuse. Get busy decorating! 😁
