"Deal or No Deal" Celebrates Christmas

Got a couple of hours to settle in with Howie Mandel and the Deal or No Deal crew this Christmas? If so, then you're in luck! Deal celebrates the holidays in style on December 25th, with a special two-hour episode with lots of fun in store.

71-year-old Harriet Cohen plays the game first, trying to avoid the special cases filled with coal, eggnog, and fruit cake. Imagine winning a fruit cake on a game show - sends shudders down your spine, doesn't it? Cohen's husband arrives dressed as Santa, pulling up in an old-fashioned fire truck. The second contestant, Jennifer Masche, is the mom of sextuplets and this is their first Christmas. How on earth did she find time to appear on a game show? That's one busy mom right there.

Of course the suitcase models will be decked out in holiday apparel, and even the audience will receive gifts. The "Play at Home Lucky Case Game" will be giving one lucky viewer $100,000. Merry Christmas indeed!

The action begins on December 25th at 8pm, on NBC.
