The Price is Right - December 23, 1994 (Christmas 1994)

[@MarkMeadows90]

Even though I was only 4 years old when this aired, I feel such nostalgia watching this Christmas episode. Feels like innocence and warmth during those years.

[@filmgirlgz]

And I was 13 and in seventh grade. The 90's were good times. I sure miss Dian, Holly, Kathleen and Janice. Holly the most.

[@MarkMeadows90]

@@filmgirlgz Holly was such a doll on that show!

[@nathanbabiuk6286]

I was 13

[@michaelgrant7322]

​I hate to be an Ebenezer Scrooge but those times were NOT so innocent.. "Things" were just hidden better because we didn't have huge internet social media... But I remember that Holly was one of the models who sued Bob Barker for Sexual Harassment 😮😮

[@jdtractorman7445]

I like how Bob gives credit to the set decorator here. I always liked how they had it decorated for Christmas. It is over the top nice.

[@JarvisBrodie]

Rob Allen sure did a damn good job in putting together the Christmas Set during this Season! I mean, it looked more and more detailed as the show progressed during the Bob Barker era. But I believe this Christmas 1994 set was the best one ever!

[@nathanbabiuk6286]

Who's Rob Allen?

[@jennifer_m.8613]

Their set decorator. No one decks the halls for Christmas on game shows like this anymore

I want to thank the person who posted this episode. I had this on tape but not all the way through. The tape ended where the 2 small prizes in secret x were being described so now that this holiday episode is on youtube, I can finally find out the outcome of what happened.

The shows where Bob comes down from the audience, I love that.

[@ericaburdette880]

Honestly, I don't know why, but I'm always partial to the elderly winning on TPIR. I'm more excited when an elderly person wins than when a young person wins. Oh, and Happy Holidays to you, too, trailblazer91 :)

[@jsciarri]

Yeah, I feel the same exact way now. I always pull for the older contestants, and hope the younger contestants lose badly.

[@jjaa6157]

Love Connie's screaming reaction. She sounds like Ree Drummond.

This Christmas episode was from the day before Christmas Eve. I have not seen this in years.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

I remember watching this episode on WBNG Ch 12. I was 12 years old back then growing up in Deposit, New York. I was in 5th Grade when I started to go to school at Deposit Elementary so I'll be home in no time. Sadly, it was my first Christmas without my father (he died 12 days before this episode aired).

[@ABALLAM3]

Quite a difference in showcase values in this show compared to the December 23 or 24 episodes of 2004. These 1994 showcase were a combined worth of just under $40,000, whereas December 23, 2004 was over $88,000 (a motorhome was in one of the showcases) and December 24, 2004 was over $62,000 (a Ford Explorer and a Ski Boat were in those showcases, and both were won by Brooke (DSW)). Impression inflation.

[@digiblader1]

@Joe Wright Yes - the failure of the nighttime show(damn OJ trial!) led to budget cuts in daytime for Price for much of the 1994/95 season. Thankfully, much of the budget would recover the following season (plus they inherited the cues from the Davidson version, which were added to its music library)

[@fable9159]

Was the motorhome won?

WRAL is where legendary wrestling announcer Bob Caudle was once weatherman.

[@trailblazer91]

If you think that's bad, I have an episode from 1992 where the showcase offered a laptop that was much more archaic :P

[@gameshowguy2000]

There was an episode that aired 12/22/1994, I know this because I was ON IT!! But I cannot find it anywhere!! I recorded it on VHS and lost it. I am not crazy WE DID THE XMAS EPISODE IN DEC OF 1994!!

Connie wins her cash prize, but I can't believe she never shops. Oh well. At least $10,000 came in quite handy for her. As for 3 Strikes...never mind.

Murrel is one luck guy getting to meet Holly. Anyone notice Holly gave him a picture (autographed I assume) after winning the showcase?

[@trailblazer91]

neilrocks87 Lucky indeed! I've heard nothing but great things about Holly, she seemed like a very genuine person.

[@jdtractorman7445]

I noticed that. How cool is that she was nice enough to do that for him. Very nice gesture on her part.

[@XanaxDust214]

Real lucky indeed, as Holly was unamiably let go from TPIR 9 months later in September '95

[@sandrapisani9225]

@neilrocks87 Holly was not only beautiful and good at her job but she was a genuine human being .. I'm not surprised she did what she did for that man .. happy for him! Does anyone know who those two blondes were that came running up on stage at the end??

[@Eminem200183]

For those who was wondering why TPIR had only one Christmas episode in ‘94, part of the reason was taping were postponed due to Barker’s sexual harassment lawsuit. We all know the story there. But because Barker had to be in court for those events, the episodes that would be part of Christmas Week had to be cancelled. The set was different from the repeats of Christmas shows in ‘93 until they aired the only Christmas show in ‘94

[@HCHaven7619]

Terrible playing of 3 strikes. How often did the contestants get all three strikes before getting one number.

[@AmericanPride1234]

lol fly Los Angeles to palm Springs. what is that a 15 minute flight at most? 10-15-15

[@blind_t2]

AmericanPride1234 they get it right in the current shows. anywhere in Southern california as a prize, they use a lemo, central/northern california prizes they fly. I think if they came out of town, then maybe i got this flight from this show. maybe they might have had to use LA as a means

[@drewzuhosky6826]

Considering that the distance between Los Angeles and Palm Springs is only 107 miles (and about an hour and 38 minute drive), I imagine that the flight wouldn't take long at all.

It happened throughout the 1994 Christmas episode, she lost in "3 Strikes", the most difficult game to win a car and she was disappointed when the Grinch took the car to Whoville.

[@XanaxDust214]

She didn't get 3 strikes in a row. She got 3 strikes in 5 draws, as she drew the 6 chip twice. But it has happened at least once before, on a very old episode in the 70s, back when 3 strikes was played with only 4 digits (cars less than $10k in value).
