In the 1980s, the beloved sitcom The Brady Bunch returned to screens for a heartwarming Christmas movie in A Very Brady Christmas. The film takes place nearly two decades after the original series aired and reunites the show's beloved cast of characters from the Brady family. A Very Brady Christmas opens with Mike Brady (Robert Reed) and his wife Carol (Florence Henderson) looking forward to a quiet holiday season with their adult children who are all now living on their own. However, as the children begin to arrive, it becomes clear that nothing is going to be as simple or straightforward as Mike and Carol hoped.

Marcia (Maureen McCormick) comes home from her corporate job in New York City with a secret that could ruin her marriage. Jan (Eve Plumb) is struggling to deal with a recent divorce, and Cindy (Jennifer Runyon) is no longer the youngest in the family and has grown up to be quite the rebel. Peter (Christopher Knight) is also dealing with his own issues as he struggles to find a job as an architect.

As each of the children arrives, old tensions and resentments begin to surface. The family dynamics that were once so familiar to viewers, with Mike and Carol serving as the ultimate parental unit, are now much more complex, as the adult children are grappling with issues around careers, relationships, and loss.

Despite the family's strained relationships, Mike and Carol try their best to keep the holiday spirits high. They go all out to decorate their home, prepare a wonderful Christmas feast and indulge in all kinds of festive traditions. However, events take a dramatic turn when they receive news that one of their family members is in danger, and they must come together to save the day.

A Very Brady Christmas marks a return to the classic comedy of the original series, while still dealing with more mature themes. Even though the Brady Bunch children have grown up, the movie still captures the essence of the original show with its mix of humor and heart.

The movie's charm lies in its ability to balance the absurdity of the original series with genuine emotional gravitas. A Very Brady Christmas is not just a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It is a poignant reminder of the ways in which families change and grow over time, and how important it is to come together in the face of adversity.

A Very Brady Christmas also features the return of the original cast members, including Florence Henderson as Carol, and Robert Reed as Mike. Ann B. Davis also returns to reprise her role as the Brady's housekeeper Alice, while other iconic supporting cast members such as Barry Williams as Greg, Susan Olsen as Cindy, and Mike Lookinland as Bobby, round out the Brady family.

Overall, A Very Brady Christmas is a classic holiday film that celebrates family, friendship, and the joys of the holiday season. It continues the legacy of the beloved original TV series while carving out its own identity as a heartfelt and entertaining holiday movie.

A Very Brady Christmas is a 1988 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 40 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.9.
