The holiday season is getting a supernatural twist with the special “Ghostsmas” episode of CBS’s hit sitcom Ghosts. In a recent interview with CBS Philadelphia, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver shared their excitement about this festive installment, offering fans a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes magic that brings the show to life.
Ambudkar, who plays Jay, and McIver, portraying Samantha, discussed how the holiday spirit infused the entire cast and crew during the making of the episode. McIver noted, “We wanted to create something that felt warm and magical, but with the quirky humor our fans love.” The episode promises to blend heartfelt moments with the signature comedic chaos that occurs when the living and spectral worlds collide.
One highlight Ambudkar teased is the dynamic between the ghosts as they grapple with the holiday season. “Not all of them celebrate Christmas, and that’s where the fun begins,” he said. Each ghost’s unique background and time period add layers to the storyline, making the holiday episode both hilarious and touching.
The actors also shared how the festive set design added to the experience. McIver described the beautifully decorated Woodstone Mansion, complete with twinkling lights and a towering Christmas tree, as a key element in setting the mood. “It felt like we were genuinely celebrating the holidays together as a cast,” she said.
This special episode aims to capture the essence of what makes Ghosts so beloved: its ability to find humor and heart in the interactions between its eclectic characters. As fans eagerly await the “Ghostsmas” episode, Ambudkar and McIver’s insights promise a holiday treat that’s equal parts funny and heartwarming.
