Sneak Peek: A Very Brady Holiday Special
It's Christmas with the Bradys! Ree Drummond and Jasmine Roth join forces with the Brady cast to decorate the Brady house for the season and prep for a retro holiday party. HGTV takes you behind the scenes.
Guess Who
Santa's helper Barry Williams poses with a new friend. Barry, Mike and Susan from the original Brady cast teamed up with HGTV designer Jasmine Roth to create these giant snowmen for the Brady-house front yard.
Back Home for the Holidays
The Brady Bunch cast members return to the now-fully restored Brady house to film a HGTV holiday special and throw a Brady-style Christmas party. L to R, Mike Lookinland (aka Bobby Brady), Susan Olsen (Cindy), Christopher Knight (Peter), Maureen McCormick (Marcia) and Barry Williams (Greg).
Family Reunions
It's Brady Bunch meets HGTV meets Food Network. The Brady cast members reunite with Hidden Potential's Jasmine Roth and, for the first time, meet Food Network's Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond — yet another long-time Brady fan.
"Teacher says, 'Every time a bell rings...
... an angel gets its wings.'" (To quote a bona fide holiday classic.) Holiday angels Jasmine and Mike take in the details on a silver tinsel Christmas tree, one of the home's retro-style decorative highlights.
So How Groovy Is This?!
Maureen is delighted when she discovers some of the custom ornaments created especially for the main Christmas tree in the Brady living room...
Brady In Miniature
The horse figurine, one of the most recognizable of all the decorative items seen on the original Brady Bunch series, is re-created in perfect miniature. It's just one of a number of unique ornaments handcrafted especially for the occasion.

Another of the special custom ornaments is this tiny replica of the modern-art styled wall panel, a distinctive design feature above the famous Brady staircase.

In the Brady Test Kitchen
Mike and Maureen team up with Food Network’s Ree Drummond — in the faithfully restored and fully functional Brady kitchen — to create a variety of nostalgic holiday treats. The holiday fare includes Christmas themed appetizers, dessert and the traditional Christmas turkey.

When it comes to a retro holiday dessert, what could be more quintessentially ‘70s than a red-and-green fruit salad sculpted in a Jello mold. "70s recipes," says Ree, "you can't beat ‘em."

Ree's take on holiday Jello-mold dessert would no doubt make Alice proud — and might easily have been a cover feature for a Good Housekeeping holiday issue, circa 1971.
