I enjoyed watching the Christmas episode in color when CBS showed it throughout the 2010s decade. I wonder why they stopped showing it in 2020?

Ratings I guess.

It's a bummer! Especially when they show a newly a colorized one. The last one that they colorized "Paris At Last" isn't on home video (the colorized one that is. The I Love Lucy Colorized DVD Box Set that they made came to market BEFORE they showed "Paris At Last.")

The bonus feature teased that they were going to show a colorized version of "The Freezer."

I've been wondering the same question! I really liked the idea of running the colorized Christmas episode as well as each year including newly colorized show as well! Guess CBS is being stingy with their $ and spending so little on all the reality-shows instead! A shame.
