Throughout the 1960s Elvis made over 30 Movies, he had became tired with Hollywood and their image of him, same movie scripts different locations, third rate songs… the Beatles and the stones had hit the USA, music was changing! In 1968 the Colonel decided it was time to put Elvis back on TV with a Christmas special! Elvis knew that this was his chance to show the world who the real Elvis Presley was… he needed to make a Comeback and boy did he comeback!
