What To Expect From the ‘Ghosts’ Christmas Special
While CBS hasn’t revealed every detail of “Ghostmas,” we do know that the central storyline of the episode will be the arrival of Jay’s (Utkarsh Ambudkar) parents atWoodstone Mansion— hence the title of the episode: “A Very Arondekar Christmas." The new Arondekars will be played by TV veteransSakina Jaffrey(Mr. Robot) andBernard White(Beef). To round up the family reunion,Punam Patel(Special) is returning as Jay’s sister Bela.
In the story, Jay will have to deal with the in-person disapproval of both his parents. Earlier this year we learned that Jay’s mother blames Sam (Rose McIver) for taking her son far away and his father still has hopes that Jay will forget about the risky B&B idea and pursue a career in engineering. To top things off, a leaky water heater might just make the Arondekars’ visit all the more difficult, putting a real damper on Sam’s attempt to impress her in-laws.CBS previously revealed a first-look image from the episode, showing Sam has pulled out all the stops for her second turn at hosting Christmas at Woodstone.

“A leaky water heater mishap threatens to ruin holiday plans as Sam and Jay prepare to host Jay’s hard-to-please dad (Bernard White), difficult-to-impress mom (Sakina Jaffrey) and sister Bela (Punam Patel).”
