As a child and young adult, Andy performed with his brothers, Bob, Dick and Don. In 1951, they disbanded and went their separate ways. After Andy got his own show, he convinced them to come back once a year to appear on his Christmas specials. The brothers brought their families, and two of Andy's nephews, Andy and David, became teen idols in their own right.

Andy's parents were also on the show, and so was Andy's own family.

Andy & The Osmond Brothers



"O Holy Night"




"Mary's Boy Child"
with Claudine, Noelle
and Christian

One episode even featured Andy
and some young skaters doing
an elaborate production number on ice.

Andy made a point of including one or two religious carols in each show, as well.

Above all, it was warm family fun, and audiences loved it. Nearly 40 years later, Donny Osmond remarked that people still come up to him and tell him they wish there were Andy Williams Christmas Specials on TV. Although Andy's weekly show left the air in 1971, the Christmas specials carried on for a few years afterwards.
