In a 2025 interview on the That’s Classic podcast, Bonaduce, who played middle son Danny Partridge on the classic musical sitcom, said, “My favorite episode, one would be the Christmas episode. It was just great. And I got to ride a horse, which was very exciting.”
The episode, titled “Don’t Bring Your Guns to Town, Santa,” originally aired on Dec. 17, 1971, on ABC. It was the only Christmas episode—and the only holiday episode at all—from The Partridge Family’s four-season, 96-episode run.
The episode also featured two holiday performances by the Partridge Family: “Winter Wonderland” was performed at the front of the episode, and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" at the end.
Cassidy, who died in 2017 at age 67, once told fans in an online chat that he hoped to record another Christmas album someday. “I would really love to make a Christmas album again as well,” the actor and singer told fans in 2001. “I made a Christmas album in 1971 and it was very successful, and people still talk to me about it and ask me about it, and it was when I was with the Partridge Family," he said at the time. "So I think that 30 years later, it might be time to do one of my own.”
In 2016, Cassidy released a digital EP of Christmas songs that included his rendition of “Blue Christmas,” “Silent Night,” and “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.”
