Was living in Chula Vista, Ca. at the time when MTV was at its best. I loved The Monkees and it was great the network brought back their show reruns. Watched this when it originally aired and was so surprised when Santa revealed himself to be Mike. Those were the days. Too bad MTV has totally abandoned music and music videos. They are awful now. They should just change their network call letters to C R A P. RIP Davy and Peter. Luv and miss you both.💕
It's odd seeing Nez with them in this 80s period don't get me wrong I love it I wish Nez would have sang a song but honestly he didn't really look like he wanted to be there but I'm happy this exist
How can you say he didn't look like he wanted to be there? He is smiling and laughing, and he was already gone, so if he didn't want to be there, he wouldn't have been there.
I cannot help but wonder if given this is from MTV, he was only there because of his work behind the scenes with MTV? 🤔 Mike Nez was one of the fathers of the station.
in 1986 the monkeys did a 20th ann. reunion tour and did this VH1 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL but in 1986 mike did not want to do the reunion so it was just the three remaining monkeys but later mike had a change of that and rejoined the monkeys for their 50th reunion tour in 2012
Rest in Peace Davy Jones and Peter The Monkees Will Never Without Them :(
I remember seeing this when it originally aired. Nice to see it again.😊
This is totally wonderful!!! From 1986!
Mike played Santa he took off the beard at the end. was a cool show
I found it kind of funny that Santa Claus was wearing sunglasses inside until the end of the video....lol
R.I.P. Davy Jones ❤️🌲
R.I.P. PETER & DAVY
