How to Watch NewsNation’s ‘A Very Eighties Christmas’ Special

If you were around in the ’80s, you probably remember local news footage of the long lines of people trying to find the perfect gift for their child or grandchild, the toy shortages and the annual reminder that this season could get a little chaotic. A Very Eighties Christmas, a new holiday special from NewsNation, brings those moments back using archival local news footage from across the country to take viewers back to Christmas in the ’80s through the lens of mall madness and moments of national ceremony. Airing Wednesday, December 24 at 8pm ET, the documentary will have an early premiere on NewsNation’s YouTube channel on December 18.
