isode, titled “The Goop on the Girl,” Zooey plays Margaret Whitesell, a distant relative of Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily’s character). When Brennan’s father, Max (returning guest star Ryan O’Neal), makes contact with Margaret, he invites her to spend Christmas with him and his daughter. Meanwhile, Brennan and Booth (David Boreanaz) investigate the death of a man dressed as Santa Claus who was blown up after a botched bank robbery (ah, the holidays …).

The best holiday specials appeal to children and adults alike. With the animated Prep & Landing, all-ages appeal is achieved through a healthy dose of cynical zingers that will likely fly right over your little tykes’ radar like Santa’s sled. [Read more →]
Yesterday at New York City’s Pond at Bryant Park, ABC Family set a Guinness World Record for the largest
gathering of Santa’s elves (yes, Guinness officially now gives records for everything).
The stunt was in support of ABC Family’s new original movie, Santa Baby 2: Christmas Maybe, which premieres on the network this Sunday, Dec. 13. The film’s two stars, Jenny McCarthy and Dean McDermott, were on hand to help gather 607 “elves,” surpassing the 250 that was needed to set the new world record. New Yorkers and tourists, including adults and children, took part in the event during which participants dressed in official Guinness World Record-approved elf costumes. At approximately 2pm ET, Guinness officials declared that the record had been set.
