The Honeymooners Return To Celebrate Christmas For The Last Time - In COLOR! In 1978, Jackie Gleason, Audrey Meadows, Art Carney and Jane Kean reunited for the fourth of four hour-long specials representing the final performances of their classic Honeymooners characters.
As Christmas approaches, Ralph Kramden's latest get-rich scheme risks his and Alice's life savings - and trusting pal Ed Norton's holiday bonus - on the lottery. The gamble also places Alice's mother's Social Security check in jeopardy.
Earlier this year we
reported on the May DVD releases from MPI Home Video of
The Honeymooners: Second Honeymoon and
The Honeymooners Valentine Special. These represent 2 of the 4
Honeymooners specials Gleason and the gang came up with following the end of
The Jackie Gleason Show. In our previous story, we mentioned that before the end of this year, MPI would also put out a third one of those,
The Honeymooners Christmas Special, on DVD.
Now MPI has formally announced that
The Honeymooners Christmas Special will arrive on
December 14th, a single-disc release whose Special Features include a never-before-seen behind the scenes featurette called "Honeymooning in Miami." Cost is just $14.98 SRP for this 48-minute special and the featurette. Gleason is joined once again by Art Carney, Audrey Meadows and Jane Kean. Here's the cover art for this classic:
