- Dad (King Cousin Ric) surprises his mother Alyce King during the 1967 King Family Christmas Special. His Aunt Vonnie and Uncle Bill Burch got him out of the army on a 3 day pass and hid him so he could surprise his mother during her song dedicated to him.

Wow oh wow! I was six years old and remembered watching this! I asked my mom whats going with that lady singer? Mom replied "She received her Christmas present"! Pure sincere moment that I still never forget!
Besides the beautiful Mother/son moment, Alyce shows what a pro she is as she continues to finish the song perfectly 👏👏👏
😂🤣😂
Alyce had a rich and lovely alto voice, and her rendition of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" was appropriate.
I remember this
Our older brother was in Vietnam on his 2nd tour and our other brother in W. Germany
This brought my parents to tears
Great memories
As a kid in the 60s the King family ,Andy Williams Christmas,
And red Skelton along with of course Charlie Brown were Christmas must see at holiday time....Great memories That brought family and friends together...
I'm so glad you enjyed it :)
Best Christmas moment on tv EVER!!!
"You've lost weight!" - What a mom. I love this.
Born in 1962. Will never forget the King family Christmas shows ❤😢
PAUL FROM TORONTO. I WAS 14 YEARS AT THIS TIME AND I LOVED THE KING FAMILY SPECIALS. WE GOT THEM HERE IN CANADA ON
A CBS CHANNEL. BUT I MISSED THIS ONE THOUGH ALL THESE YEARS LATER IT BRINGS A LUMP TO MY THROAT. BLESS THE KING SISTERS
AND THE ENTIRE CLAN. THANKS FOR BRINGING SO MUCH MUSIC AND LOVE TO THE WORLD. TOO BAD THE DECENDENTS DID NOT KEEP THE TRADITION FROM CARRYING ON. LOVE PAUL.
I bet he surprised her again in heaven, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I love this! I remember watching this when it aired in 1967, my brother was away serving and he couldn't come home that Christmas. My Mother started to cry when Alyce's son walked onto the stage. This was so very touching and a wonderful surprise for everyone!!
Alyce had such a beautiful voice showcased here perfectly.
I am in tears when I watch this clip because my mother passed away this year on 9/11.
Yep, saw the original and it made me cry back then, and I was 12 years old. Best moment ever!
It will never get old :)
Reminder the war in Vietnam and the draft
I was 8.
How I miss this.
I too saw the original. I was in 7th or 8th grade. I remember smiling. This time, I watched as a mother and grandmother...I cried.
I cry every single time I see it :)
I don't know if you'll see this Jennifer. I went to elementary school (at Campbell Hall in Studio City) with Priscilla Burch, daughter of Bill Burch and step daughter of Yvonne King Burch. Priscilla and I were in the Tinkerbelle Blue Birds and Camp Fire Girls from 1956 - 1960. I knew Priscilla's mom, Becky Burch, when she died of Leukemia in the late 1950's. My dad was a musician (his trio was "The Cass County Boys") on the Gene Autry Melody Ranch Radio Show in the 1940's-1950's at the time when Alyce, Yvonne, and another King Sister were also on the show. My parents socialized with Bill and Becky Burch in the 1940's-1950's.
Over 50 years and whenever I hear that song I remember Alyce being surprised by her son. Classic and best rendition e er!
I wholeheartedly agree! :)
Teared me up,I cannot lie.
I cry EVERY time!
Always a tear jerker for me😘
This is heartwarming. I thank your father for his service.
I just saw this on get-tv recently, and it was touching, indeed. Alyce looked beautiful the whole time. Classic scene.
Thanks for letting me know! It certainly looked like a genuine surprise. Your grandmother and her sisters had such beautiful voices and rich harmony. A real gift. God bless!
Of course it was a real surprise - the King Family... what you saw was what you got.
Simply beautiful!
This is beautiful. Love you, Alyce.
Adorable Cam!!!!!
Remember so well. Love this special. Saw it several times either that year or reruns following years. Nice looking boy.
I met Cam at the weekend!!! I could cry I wish I saw this before I met him…. He couldn’t have been nicer, his mum was a beautiful singer
I remember it clearly too, watching it on tv . I thought it was more like 68 or 69, but the years get blurred. Very touching.
Beautiful
Second thing she says "You've lost weight" Welcome home buddy, mom obviously still cares.
Haha! Pretty moms always want pretty kids.
Just a tear jerker
It is!!!! This is my father and grandmother. I can’t watch it without bawling 😭
@@MissJennifee love these classic family quality posts
This is my all-time favorite video clip. The one that has really stayed in my mind since I first watched it on TV when I was 11 years old. I still get teary-eyed when I watch it. Thank you so much for sharing.

I was born in 66 did not know who the king anything my older brother says he remembers watching these specials I honestly at the age of 3 years old I got a pretty good memory but I don't remember anything about the king anyting until I've seen my adolescent Crush which was Tina My Three Sons when I seen her and I realize what was up with your family and everything and I must say your dad Ric made his mom very proud!!! awesome family and I am a black Sabbath dio Elvis fan I have been watching everything king and enjoying it. is your dad still with us I lost 2 cousins due to Vietnam 1 in 1971 and my other cousin just died two years ago from agent orange cancers we also buried my uncle Memorial Day 2017 who was killed in Korea in 1950 and we just got his body back and we finally put him next to my grandpa God bless your family! from Cincinnati Ohio
Wow! Thank you to your family for their service. My dad IS still with us. He's going great! I'm happy you're enjoying the old shows. They're pretty fun
Jennifer de Azevedo yes there good!! I wished they still had shows about family instead of tearing apart the traditional God fearing family. do like the Midwest?? you moved from California to Kentucky?? how do u like it??
I don't live in Kentucky. I live in Utah. My oldest son is in Kentucky right now.
Jennifer de Azevedo Kentucky is a nice state but if he's in Lexington tell him to stay off New Circle Road as far as any establishments. thank you for taking the time out to respond your grandma Alice la la la I think you call her seems like a really special great lady. god bless you I have been watching your cook book post, your ok in my book!! bye.
Thank you!
My eyes are gettin' a little misty right now thinking about those who WON'T be home for Christmas.
Grateful to them all...
50000 service men and women didn’t Ever make it home for Christmas 😪
:(
I really like watching this I enjoyed it is very touching.
Beautiful family
Now that is the sweetest show-stopper I've ever seen! Thank you for posting this, Jennifer!! (Hello to Cam Clarke!)
You're very welcome. I'll say Hi to Cam for you!
That Alyce could sing!
Yes she could! :)
Love this
that was adorable
THE bast reality TV moment EVER.
Not even close.
@@EgbertWilliams I hate to ask, but what do you think it may be?
I actually remember this…
How special! I didn't understand her comment about Ric in WW2.
She was saying the uniforms were better than WWII. Soldiers never looked as good as Dad did in his Uniform in WWII.
I seen this in 2017 and loved it. I wish this was in its entirety somewhere. BTW, was this Tina Cole's mother and brothers?
Nope. These are her cousins. Vonnie is Tina's mother and Cathy is her sister. No brothers :)
@@MissJennifee Thank you. I loved this.
I have it on a 2 DVD set from Amazon. It's the one with a Thanksgiving and 3 Christmas episodes.
Why was the audience silent when he came out and surprised her? It's as if there WAS no audience.
I asked my dad and he said there was no studio audience for this special. There were some friends and family sitting in the seats. None of the family knew he was there either, so he just looked out at his cousins and friends.
@@MissJennifee Thanks. Just wondering, did everyone on the show make all of their living from the show or did they have other forms of income?
@@jerseypete6674 I believe it depended on the family member. For some it was their entire income (like the sisters and Alvino)...for others it was just a portion of their income.
@@MissJennifee Thanks so much. Very interesting.
Came here from iFunny
I did too! Haha I funny will make this famous
Me too 😂
Same!
Yup me too lol
same here
...Dedicated to my other brother, who's in the Army..." Uh, no, a little closer than that.
Haha!!!!
being from Utah snow is no problem.
Jennifer were you on the 1974 Christmas special in a red dress with your grandmother Alice singing Toyland? It was near a tree with mechanical dolls that moved?
No. That was my cousin Emily. I wasn’t born yet. But we have some of those same mechanical dolls up for Christmas right now! :)
Is this here somewhere
iFunny brought me here as well.
oh, yeah and then theres lex with the piano...
His version of "Sleigh Ride" that followed was one of the best.
She won't really hug him because she doesn't want to mess up her hair.
Hair back then was a fiasco! I'm so glad I don't have to deal with those hairstyles!
yes she was forcing it a bit.
Was that a real surprise?
Yes it was! The soldier is my dad and the lovely lady singing is my grandmother. He was in the army and his uncle was able to get him out on a pass for a few days. they hid him out at their house and had him walk out when his mom was singing. One of the best moments in TV history :)
I could watch that over and over - this is what the season is all about.
