Love that they included little Larry in the show.

Larry Matthews singing was super sweet. Love Ritchie!! ♡

😀I agree!! Celebrating JESUS

I love his singing, too. Celebrating JESUS!

@@docadams7099 Sadly, celebrating our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is a thing of the past in 21st-century TV programs; they celebrate satan now.

I've enjoyed this episode since the early 1970s when I could understand it.

[@twc3546]

Larry’s singing of Little Drummer Boy is my favorite version. Sung with innocence and simplicity by an actual little boy

[@lisawentworth6831]

love seeing Dick acting all fish out of water on stage...he is such a great physical comedian.

[@voiceofreason7856]

I had NEVER seen this episode before - what a true gem ! :)

[@foadnwol6684]

This is one of my favorite episodes. Eveery single person on this show was so talented. The santa suits number was so comical and adorable, Richie's solo was so sweet, Rose Marie and Buddy, were great...heck, they were all just wonderful!

What a great way to honor a remarkable cast at Christmastime! A Very Merry Christmas to everyone, but especially to my fellow American Baby Boomers, a very misunderstood but well-intentioned generation. ❤❤🎄❤❤

This is my Favorite Episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show of all-time.

[@josephcalderon906]

This is the type of christmas episode, you don't see sadly in a contemporary television programs.

[@carmelaszymanski8232]

Sorry

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@josephcalderon906 Heartbreakingly true. The current generation overseeing programming would rather honor sin than Christianity. In fact, they take advantage of every opportunity to insult and disparage our Lord and His followers. If writers suggested a show like this today they would have transgender males playing the female parts and vice-versa.

Amen!!! 🙌💕

[@LoneWombat2126]

The “I am a fine musician” skit is one of my favorites…and I think they’ve done a version of it that was a cappella.

3:12 "Funny feeling in my wallet that's Laura behind there" GREAT LINE 😂😂

Great cast, writers, and show!

Wow! What a Perfect show!

That was great!!!!!😅😅😅😅

[@leadchick]

What a lovely episode heading into the season. Ritchie did really well with his solo. Such fun memories! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

[@C21L01]

Best part of this whole episode is right at the very end when Carl and young Larry are wheeled out onto the stage in the sleigh and everybody literally starts singing the theme song to the show. Even Richard Deacon which shows backstage the actors must've had a lot of fun making the show.

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

I love this!!!!!

[@DebraMoses-r2l]

I ❤ Dick Van Dyke.

[@kristabrewer6736]

That last song they did together; they sang that last season at the their friends Inn

This episode is a holiday perennial just like the animated Holy Trinity (Rudolph, Charlie Brown, and the Grinch).

Finally!! The face of Alan Brady!

Carl Reiner

Rob's Face after laura says her name 14:39 14:05 ha ha sally

[@oldblackstock2499]

I always enjoy "Little Drummer Boy". It was written by a college teacher Katherine Davis in 1941. Originally title " Carol of the Drum". I like the original better.

[@MrMenefrego1]

What an interesting fact! I also prefer the original title.

[@stephenstumbke1721]

LAURA PETRIE!!!!! 😂😂

[@carmelaszymanski8232]

Why was Sally always shorted?? She's Brilliant..

[@jackkircher1755]

She used to sing and dance around age three abd was known as Baby Rosemarie. KZbin has a couple clips of her when she was a little girl.

[@teijaflink2226]

It's funny I know about Baby Rosemarie before I knew about this show and thought what a talanted kid, what a fun surprise that Sally is the same person, great that she got a career as an adult.

[@Wonderpattypatty]

@@jackkircher1755 Thanks for this!! I’ll look her up. 🌸

[@jackkircher1755]

Producer Carl Reiner played several characters on The DVD Show. On fact he played the original Robert Petrie on the pilot episode which wasn't aired very often. He also played the painter who painted a nude portrait I'd Laura titled "October Eve." He Allen Brady on thus show and didn't appear on too many episodes. His son, Rob appeared on The Andy Griffith Show as a worker in a print shop then went on to play "The meat head" on All 7n the family and in a special Thanksgiving Réunion special on the spin-off Archie Bunker's place.

[@MrMenefrego1]

'Meat Head' was in 'The Partridge Family' too. He is the only actor I know of who lives up to his TV nickname!

[@ALANLACORTEBRITO]

EPISODE VERY COOL

[@jamesswidergal7875]

Thought I saw all the episodes, why does it seem I never saw this one.

Me either. But what a wonderful surprise!

[@ktsenya2]

Rose Marie was always my favorite

[@cherylcampbell9369]

Mel sure has a nice baritone voice!!

[@emmabradford137]

he's a great dancer too

[@serenitysfirefly]

Anyone else here because they aired this on MeTV during April?

[@MrMenefrego1]

Nope, I'm here because I watched this show with my parents when I was a kid.

[@jackkircher1755]

I think the DVD show only had two Christmas episodes

[@docadams7099]

Actually, it only had this one. But it's a gem.

[@junecolohan7306]

I seen this before in reruns but Jerry Matthews singing little drummer boy is always cut out

[@sunnyscott4876]

Isn't Buddy Jewish?

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

I think so.

[@michaelpdawson]

So was Jesus.

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

@@michaelpdawson -Very true!

[@robertchambers4065]

Yes Buddy was Jewish. There was an episode where Buddy was meeting with his rabbi to get bar mitzvah'd because his family could not afford it when he was a child. Everyone thought he was having an affair because he kept leaving the office early and a strange woman called (the rabbi's wife) and left a message her husband would be home at 5 in the afternoon. In that episode all of the cast members attended the service that featured the show's rabbi and a cantor who did some singing. One of the reasons why the Dick Van Dyke Show was wholesome family entertainment that has stood the test of time is because whether the subject was race relations or religion everyone was given equal time and treated with respect.

When this "era" of television show felt it was necessary and compelled to turn one or two episodes a year into a variety show to highlight the - somehow otherwise unknown extraordinary and amazing "on stage" talent all of the otherwise REGULAR, and run of the mill characters who suddenly had all this hidden talent for vaudeville and singing and dancing in between their mundane jobs, on the show had, I couldn't change the channel fast enough. If I wanted to watch sining and dancing - which I never did and certainly never will, I wouldn't be watching a situation comedy on television.
