Fresh off a truly magical Little House weekend in Simi Valley, the microphones are back on—and so are Alison Arngrim, Dean Butler, and Pamela, though perhaps running on fumes. Loopy, overtired, and still glowing from a wonderful fan event, the trio settles in to revisit one of the most emotional and beloved episodes of the entire series, “Christmas at Plum Creek.”
This Season One holiday classic captures the heart of Little House on the Prairie in its purest form, and the conversation reflects that same mix of warmth and vulnerability. As they revisit the episode, Alison, Dean, and Pamela reflect on the harsh reality of frontier winters, the quiet sacrifices made by the Ingalls family, and why this story—so simple on the surface—continues to resonate so deeply 50 years later.The meaning of Christmas is found not in what you have, but in who you are.
It’s a cozy, heartfelt, slightly delirious recap that feels like collapsing onto the couch after a perfect holiday gathering. Pour yourself something warm, settle in, and join us for a loving look back at “Christmas at Plum Creek”—a reminder that even a single penny can feel like a miracle, and that Little House still knows exactly how to touch the heart.
Then join us on Patreon where Alison and Pamela take time to reflect on the joy of celebrating the 50th anniversary of Little House on the Prairie with fans whose love for the show has never faded. That shared sense of connection—between cast, stories, and audience—feels especially present in an episode like this, where the meaning of Christmas is found not in what you have, but in who you are.
