Let's play a little game: how many of these Santas can your recognize? For this first quiz, I made it a little easy -- all of these TV characters were previously featured in a blog post sometime earlier this year. Did you know that I have a SEARCH box for my blog, along the right-hand side? Comment below with your guesses on who each Santa is and the title of the episode, special or movie. Show off your Christmas TV knowledge. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteYou probably know all of these--you should show off and identify one!
DeleteI did know them all, but didn't want to spoil the fun! :) My favourite is #7, Mr Woodman from Welcome Back Kotter. I love that someone can still be so crotchety in a Santa suit :)
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteKarl Winslow, Mel Sharples, Roseanne Connor, Fish.... Reluctant, crotchety Santas make the best Santas!
Delete#4 is Chandler Bing from the Friends episode "Holiday Armadillo", one of our favorites!
ReplyDeleteI thought that one was hard! Good for you.
Delete#8 - Billy Sands, Ernest Borgnine and a very young Tim Conway in McHale's Navy!
ReplyDelete#1 is He-Man from He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special (1985)
ReplyDelete#2 is Barney Fife (Don Knotts) from The Andy Griffith Show "The Christmas Story" episode!
ReplyDeleteNow we're rolling....
ReplyDelete# 3 is Roger Sterling (John Slattery) from Mad Men (season 4), the episode is entitled "Christmas Comes But Once A Year"
ReplyDelete# 5 is Cecil Kellaway in a 1964 episode of Bewitched which I think is called "A Vision of Sugar Plums". :-)0
ReplyDeleteExcellent--thanks for playing along Mel.
ReplyDelete#6 is Stan Zbornak, Dorothy's ex-husband on the Golden Girls. The other two Golden Girls are (barely) visible in the top right too!
ReplyDeleteYESSS! Thank you for continuing to play along :)
DeleteI don't want to hog them, but I know what it's like to have one or two still hanging on! I run a version of this game on Facebook that runs most of December and by the end I'm just begging people to get rid of the last stragglers ;) And just to help clear off the last couple, #9 is ALF!
DeleteThanks for your help! And thanks to everyone for playing along :D
