synopsis
Child actor Billy Mumy and veteran scene-stealer Cecil Kellaway appear in this "very special" episode of Bewitched. During the Yuletide season, Samantha and Darrin try to convince a surly orphan named Michael (Mumy) to believe in Santa Claus -- and in Christmas itself. Need it be added that twinkly eyed Kellaway is cast as that "jolly old elf"? Written by Herman Groves, "A Vision of Sugar Plums" first aired on December 24, 1964, then was rebroadcast on December 23, 1965, with new footage added to frame the basic story as a flashback.
