What’s up? Alex P. Keaton is back, and he learns—or re-learns—all about Christmas spirit! I’ve got Jeff Fox from Name That Christmas Special with me to talk Family Ties “Miracle in Columbus!” Alex’s heart grows three sizes!

In this sixth season seventeenth episode, Skippy gets Alex to fill in for him as a mall Santa. The capitalistic Santa Alex meets a little girl named Michelle who wants nothing more than for her father to be home for Christmas. Of course, this bums Alex out to the max.

Subsequently in the mall locker room, the real Santa appears and comforts and encourages Alex. Moved by his speech, he finds Michelle and her mom and invites them over for Christmas Eve. Miraculously, Michelle’s dad appears at the Keatons’s door. All’s well that ends well!

Mallory and Jennifer in elf costumes? Check. Skippy as an abominable snowman? Got it. Michael and Elise decorating a cactus? It got better. So grab your Santa suit and, “Ho Ho Ho,” to this episode on Family Ties “Miracle in Columbus!”
