Nothing says Christmas to us like laughing at old Martha Stewart holiday specials, and in our hunt for clips we came across several gems: a magical gingerbread house how-to in which Miss Piggy serves as heckler; a marvelous blooper reel from a 1-800-FLOWERS commercial featuring a randy, ad-libbing Santa; and an appearance on David Letterman ca. 1990 in which Martha tries to show him how to spin caramelized sugar for a festive croquembouche. And we’ve assembled them all into one glorious reel, straight ahead.
Sorry! This video no longer exists.
Per Piggy: “Joyeux Noël!”
