Christmas television specials have existed for nearly as long as television in general. Similar to department store stampedes, snow, and tinsel, it is a seasonal signifier. If you reside in a region of the world without clearly defined seasons, you can always identify what season it is by turning on the television. If, for example, you discover your favorite comedy suddenly covered with garlands and sparkling lights, you can be sure Santa will be visiting your home soon.
Not much has altered. Even in the age of streaming, a number of platforms have established a custom of paying homage to the classic holiday variety show by assembling a number of well-known pop artists or movie stars to gather on a soundstage and perform a few holiday favorites.
