Image Credit: Fox; Mary Ellen Matthews/NBCA survey conducted for HomeGoods stores revealed that Ellen DeGeneres is Americans’ ideal guest at a holiday cocktail party, a December vacation with George Clooney at his Italian residence would be bellissimo, and Michelle Obama is the top choice to decorate a Christmas tree. Well, I hate to be a Cold Miser, but Ellen, George, and Michelle just checked their calendars, and they already have plans on the day of your event/trip. Whenever that is. They’re booked. But thanks for asking.
Since there’s no chance that an actual celebrity will drop in on you over the holidays, let’s make this more interesting and open up the conversation to fictional characters. (You never know!) Personally speaking, I’d be thrilled if David Brent of Wernham-Hogg swung by for my holiday bash. I’d plant him next to my wife’s single friends and just observe the magic. Plus, he’s a cinch to dance. I also wouldn’t mind taking a holiday to ‘America’s Playground,’ Atlantic City 1929. Gamble a bit, catch-up with Nucky Thompson, shoot someone. And if someone’s going to help decorate my Christmas tree, I insist that Ned Flanders and 30 Rock‘s Kenneth Parcell are involved.
What fictional characters would you most like to see this holiday season?
Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) from Burn Notice needs to come to Colorado for a white Christmas and help me decorate. I promise I’ll make him a pitcher of Mojitos.
I’m with you Dawin. Let’s give some love to our Sammy!!!
Sam Axe! That was my first thought, too. I’d take John Casey from “Chuck” as well. He’s tall enough to put the star on the top of my Christmas tree!
Raylan Givens.
“Oh here go hell come,” ’cause that would be awesome. I wonder how many people we would shoot?
I’d like to follow Walter from Fringe around for a day. I think it’d be one hell of a day.
Or spend the holidays with him, though it might ruin Christmas for me forever…
Yes! It would awesome in a weird yet funny kind of way.
YES YES YES.
Leslie Knope
That would be awesome!! Actually, I think I would want the whole Parks & Rec department at my house.
Dean Winchester. Hands down.
THIS. And for the love of God, bring the mistletoe!
And his brother! the soulfull version.
AMEN sister!! Under the tree with a bow!
don’t forget Dean’s pudding!
Since I can’t choose–and because they’re better together–I would love the company of Community’s Troy and Abed at my office Christmas party. I’m sure they would liven things up with a few Spanish carols…
I have no problem vacationing in Neptune, California, for a little sunshine in the doldrums of winter. With a splash of Veronica Mars noir, of course.
And I’m calling dibs on Ugly Betty’s Suarez family to help me decorate my tree–theirs always looked so good! You know Justin has a lot to do with that.
The Doctor as played by David Tennant. Preferably in tux-and-Chucks Christmas special mode, which indicates a high chance of alien shenanigans.
He’s always at the top of my Christmas list!
He’s fantastic, but it would be nice if he could bring along Rose and Captain Jack. I adore them as well.
Dr. Cal Lightman, so he could help me figure out my family… Or Gloria, Manny and Jay from Modern Family–that’d probably be fun. Or maybe Deb from Dexter, although my mom would be all, “Language!”
Olive (Kristin Chenoweth) from “Pushing Daisies.” I don’t think there would ever be a dull moment with her around. Plus, she’s got some pipes, so all the entertainment for Christmas parties is taken care of!
I would love that!!!! She constantly made me laugh
And she can make a mean pie!
Damon Salvatore. In a heartbeat.
Agreed! I can just see him continuously cracking one-liners and doing that flirty eye thing.
When I red the title of this article Damon Salvatore’s name was the first that came to my mind.We would get drunk together,have hilarious snarky conversations,dancing half-naked around his awesome mansion and partying till the sun goes down…
I would like to have the cast of Glee and Twilight over to my house and then burn it to the ground
and i would like to spend my holiday with you
Can I come too?????????
Could all of you stay in the house when it burns?
Barney Stinson. My holidays are going to suck this year but having him around would make this month a million times better.
A straight NPH would be nice for me…
Also, Tony Stark (ala RDJ) would be ok. (rich, handsome, superhero)
In fact… I believe it could be LEGENDARY. ;o)
Nikita, as played by Maggie Q. Rrrowr.
Walter from Fringe most definitely. For a family I would love to spend the holidays with the Chance Family on Raising Hope. What a riot that would be!
Im with you….I would love some Maw Maw time….
Don Draper. And I’d have plenty of booze and cigarettes on hand, just like I remember the holidays of my youth.
My personal choice would be Peggy. She’d be a wonderful Christmas guest.
Keeping the “Mad Men” theme going, it’d have to be Joan Holloway. (Duh!)
She’d probably wear red (hopefully the dress with the bow that makes her look like a present), she can lead a conga line, and her husband’s away at war, so she could use the companionship.
Fine! Joan Harris* (Blech.)
Don and Roger would be awesome. As for Don…I’d like to spend some quality alone time with him.
Get in line girlfriend!
