Ghosts is no stranger to bringing unique perspectives to the sitcom format, and its upcoming “Ghostsmas” episode is set to continue that tradition. In an engaging conversation with CBS Philadelphia, actors Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver revealed what makes this holiday special stand out and why it holds a special place in their hearts.
Ambudkar explained that the episode explores how each ghost views Christmas through the lens of their own era and experiences. From Viking Thorfinn’s misunderstanding of modern traditions to Isaac’s historical grievances, the episode delves into the humorous and sometimes poignant ways these characters interact with the holiday season. “It’s a hilarious clash of perspectives,” Ambudkar said.
McIver highlighted Samantha’s role in trying to bring everyone together. “Sam’s always the mediator,” she joked. “But this time, she’s also learning what the holidays mean to her, especially with the ghosts and Jay as her unconventional family.” This emotional thread underscores the importance of connection, a theme that resonates deeply during the holiday season.
The actors praised the show’s writers for their ability to blend humor with heartfelt storytelling. McIver said, “Our writers have a gift for making you laugh one moment and tear up the next. This episode is no different.” Fans can expect plenty of laughs, surprises, and maybe even a touching moment or two as the ghosts and their living counterparts navigate the holiday chaos.
As Ambudkar and McIver reflected on filming the “Ghostsmas” episode, they emphasized how much fun it was to embrace the holiday spirit on set. “It felt like a celebration for all of us,” Ambudkar said. This sentiment is sure to translate to the screen, making the episode a festive highlight of the season.
