Anarchic seasonal comedy starring Bill Murray, Karen Allen, Robert Mitchum

Frank Cross, the youngest network president in television history, is a man who hates Christmas and plans to exploit the holidays to attract as many viewers as possible - no matter what it takes. However, Frank is about to be visited by three unconventional ghosts who will go to any lengths to make him change his mean-spirited ways. A modem version of A Christmas Carol, it has Buddy Hackett, John Houseman, Robert Goulet, Mary Lou Retton and Lee Majors making guest appearances as themselves.
