Holiday Entertaining with Martha Stewart

November 19, 1986

Martha Stewart's first major television appearance was this PBS/WGBH holiday special filmed at her Connecticut farmhouse. Covering both Thanksgiving and Christmas entertaining in one program, she guides viewers through a complete Yuletide plan — food preparation, table decoration, and seating arrangements — establishing the voice and aesthetic that would define her brand for the next four decades.
