I know that the first season of CBS $25,000 Pyramid did a Christmas ep. The only thing I saw was a wreath on Dick Clark's podium...how festive. Also add Password Plus and $ale of the Century.
As for Pyramid 2002 and syndie Millionaire, are you saying they actually had special X-mas eps., or just aired on X-mas in your area?
gameshowguy2000:
Both syndie Millionaire and Pyramid aired on Xmas day in my area.
Oh, Password Plus aired on Christmas Day? Was that the one with Carol Burnett and Bert Convy from the "12 Games" Marathon on GSN?
And I don't know about the Super Password show from that same marathon.
What did the set look like on $OTC, fostergray82? What decorations were there, if any?
Jimmy Owen:
There was a time, long, long ago that the networks would program a regular daytime schedule on Christmas Day, so in the 60's and 70's at least, any game show on the air would have aired on Christmas. I'll mention two from 1974, "The Big Showdown" was elaborately decorated all around the set and "The Money Maze" had a Christmas tree in the middle of the maze on top of a tower.

IIRC, it was your typical Christmas stuff; garland, wreaths, etc....artificial snow, and some X-mas trees.
