If you think Fantasy Island is already a magical place, wait until you see how the tropical location becomes a winter wonderland on this special episode. “God bless our production design department,” says Roselyn Sánchez, who stars as enigmatic host Elena Roarke. “It’s very [tricky] to create a mountain full of snow, but they wanted to go all out!” The two-hour treat welcomes a pair of guests, both with holiday hopes: A doctor (Geri-Nikole Love) searches for the husband (Mackenzie Astin) who disappeared a year earlier, and a harried CEO (Lindsey Kraft) dreams of a Hallmark movie–caliber Christmas, complete with a quaint inn, flurries and frosted windowpanes. Meanwhile, things begin to get very personal for the island’s inhabitants. After organizing the staff’s Secret Santa, Roarke’s No. 2 Ruby realizes that her old life on the mainland holds the key to finding the perfect gift ...

Former Los Angeles Lakers guard and current South Bay Lakers player Andre Ingram racked up some significant cash winnings on Wheel of Fortune. Ingram was a guest on Friday’s Secret Santa edition of the show, where he proved to be a natural at guessing word clues. While he failed to solve the game’s final puzzle, Ingram still walked away with an impressive $31,750, which will be donated to one lucky fan. Speaking after the episode, Ingram said he was “probably more nervous” doing Wheel of Fortune than playing basketball. “You know, basketball, you’re so used to it. I’ve been doing it for years. This is like, you know, once in a lifetime.” Tonight’s Secret Santa episode was a slam dunk for André! He won over $31,000!

There were two big winners for the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

While the NBA basketball team was pounding the Oklahoma City Thunder, beating them 116-95, former Lakers guard and current South Bay Lakers player Andre Ingram was a cash winner on the syndicated game show Wheel of Fortune.

Ingram appeared Friday as a guest for the “Secret Santa” episode of the show. He won $31,750, missing out on a potential $39,000 by failing to solve the game’s final puzzle.

Ingram said he would donate the lump sum to a fan, but specifics were not immediately available on the how and when of that.

After the show, Ingram confessed to more nerves about the TV show than playing in the NBA.

Ingram is currently trying to get back in the league, and is the NBA G-League’s all-time leader in 3-pointers.

Tonight's Secret Santa episode was a slam dunk for André!

Happy Monday, everyone! We officially made it to the finish line for the Christmas season this week, and just in case you’re looking for some horrific holiday horrors or specials to get you into the spirit, here’s a rundown of where you can find an assortment of titles streaming across all the great platforms out there.

From Shudder to Tubi TV to Hulu to Netflix to even Kanopy (which is available for free to anyone with a library card), and so many others, we’ve got you covered with this list of festive frights to enjoy at home. I’ve even gone ahead and included a few unusual choices in here, too, including a special involving Vincent Price narrating Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

Happy Holidays and Happy Streaming!

New Holiday Traditions:

A Creepshow Holiday Special (Streaming on Shudder)

Robert Weston has noticed some odd changes lately that his doctors can’t explain.

Over the course of the franchise, Power Rangers has celebrated different holidays many times. In the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series, the one that started it all, the holidays always delivered the message that it was more important to foster the spirit of togetherness than worry about gift-giving.

While the audience can't argue with that, there's also a time-honored tradition among friends and co-workers of Secret Santa gift exchanges. Drawing names from a hat and establishing a price limit — while keeping the gift recipient's identity a secret — makes for a fun way for people to curb their spending and focus their energy on one gift instead of several. If the characters in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers participated in Secret Santa, the results would be pretty entertaining.

In a perfect world, TV streaming services would offer a playlist feature – imagine the joyful nerdery of shareable Top 10 episode lists. When it came time for a Christmas binge-watch while you’re wrapping gifts, or spraying pine cones silver, or gently weeping and glugging Advocaat from the bottle, you could fire up hours of comedy specials without having to expend a single calorie of energy on touching the remote.

Until that glorious day comes, this is your next best thing. It’s a directory of the major US and UK 1990s-2010s sitcoms’ Christmas episodes, and where they’re available to stream. If you feel like grabbing your Frasier box set and going from Christmas 1993 to Christmas 2002, stopping at every feel-good Outlaw Laser Robo-Geek moment along the way, here’s the info you need.
