The second Christmas episode of The Jimmy Dean Show was the fourteenth episode of the show's second season, aired on ABC on Christmas Eve of 1964.

Plot[]

Rowlf appears during the opening number, "Jingle Bells", playing a pipe and singing along with the guests. Jimmy Dean approaches Rowlf with a Christmas gift - a quartet of wristwatches (one for each paw). Rowlf holds a Christmas raffle, selling tickets to win a live turkey for the holidays. Only one, ten-cent ticket has been bought so far, so Jimmy buys all the rest for $9.90.

Rowlf makes the drawing and they see that the winner is the turkey; the only other contender. Rowlf then realizes with the purchases made for the raffle and bus fare that he's made no profit at all. He becomes sad, as he's now unable to buy Jimmy a gift. Instead, he makes a Christmas wish for Jimmy by singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".
