Amazon.com Join Crystal Gayle, John Davidson, David Hasselhoff, and Michael Damian as they celebrate Christmas in the "crystal kingdom": Kalmar and Orrefors, Sweden. This 46-minute video from 1987 features 13 favorite Christmas songs performed in various Swedish locales as well as a brief tour of the Orrefors glass-blowing factory. Solo performances include Gayle's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "O Holy Night," Davidson's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," Hasselhoff's "Country Christmas," and Damian's "Another Christmastime Without You." Gayle and Davidson pair up on "It's That Time of Year," Gayle and Hasselhoff join together on "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," and the four collaborate on a medley of Christmas carols. Song arrangements are fairly traditional, with overlaid string, rhythm, and vocal tracks providing the accompaniment. World champion pair skaters Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner give a wonderfully photographed nighttime skating performance set to Gayle's "Silent Night." In addition to its musical content, this video explores several Swedish Christmastime customs, including the four Sundays of Advent, the tradition of Santa Lucia, and the formal midday feast on December 24. --Tami Horiuchi

CRYSTAL SHINES January 2, 2009 Robert Radmore (Oxford, N.J.) Crystal Gayles "shines" in this Christmas special filmed in Sweden. She sounds beautiful singing several Christmas Carols with help from her guest stars John Davidson and David Hasselhoff. The special really fills you with the Christmas spirit!
A Merry Little Christmas with Crystal December 18, 2005 "Tee" (LA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm stumped by the bad reviews people have been posting on this DVD. It is what it is - Crystal's 1987 CBS Christmas special filmed in Sweden. She is beautiful as always of course and sings heavenly, what more could you want. Well, I agree she is saddled with some not particularly talented guest stars, although David Hasselhoff seems like a likable California version of a good ole boy and he certainly was a good-looking hunk of man in his thirties. He may not be the world's greatest singer, foreign record sales to the contrary, but he works well with Crystal. It's kind of nice to see an old Christmas show on DVD in a fine print, this was likely one of the last "old fashioned" Christmas variety programs before they got hip and trendy and as false as a fake Christmas tree.
Disappointed September 17, 2005 Ronald T. Tsubamoto (Kwajalein, Marshall Islands) I've been a Crystal Gayle fan since I saw her in concert in San Diego many years ago and feel some of the songs she sang in this DVD were good. The part where John Davidson sings to the kids outside the homes should have been cut. I would have liked to hear more songs sung by Crystal Gayle. It was hard to get into a flowing Christmas feeling.
Crystal DVD December 31, 2001 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am a big Crystal fan, and am always looking for something new from her, but I was really disapointed with the DVD. It was recorded several years ago, and many of the songs were dubbed from her Christmas CD, and were not even re-recorded for the DVD. In a word, stick to her Christmas CD.
AWFUL! December 14, 2001 PAUL UMPHENOUR (GREENSBORO, NC United States) 6 out of 12 found this review helpful
