6 p.m. “Eloise at Christmas”
The little girl living in the Plaza Hotel experiences the kind of Christmas that is only a dream for most of us: the kind with room service, twice-daily maids and a doorman to keep our relatives from getting past the lobby. (2003) ABC Family
7 p.m. “Deal or No Deal”
This imported game show concept is a giant hit in 38 countries around the world. Of course, most of the people in those countries also think soccer is hugely exciting. NBC
8 p.m. “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”
Peter Frampton and the BeeGees participate in one of the greatest crimes in rock’n’roll history. Frampton was sentenced to life on the state fair/lakeside resort circuit. One of the BeeGees is dead. (1978) Sundance Channel
8 p.m. “Barbara Walters Special”
Walters explores the concept of heaven, seeking answers from theologians, philosophers on such eternal questions as where is heaven? who gets in? and how many cable channels will there be? ABC
8 p.m. “America’s Next Top Model”
The modeling hopefuls from season five are reunited. They don’t even have to pretend to be nice now. Guards with nets and pepper spray are standing by. UPN
8 p.m. “Mythbusters”
In a special “shopping episode,” we see where Jaimie and Adam shop, in case that special someone on your Christmas list needs a vat of ballistics gel, medieval catapult or squirt gun loaded with concentrated skunk spray. Discovery Channel
8:30 p.m. “The Office”
The annual “Secret Santa” gift exchange has the office in turmoil. The office gift exchange is a ritual fraught with peril. You may not know this, but that lame “You’re Not Getting Older, You’re Getting Better” coffee mug you gave your boss two years ago went straight into your personnel file. NBC
