The Holidays (Austrian-Style): A Fan Meet-up & The Devil!

Just when you thought Jingle All the Way was the only thing worth watching during the holiday season, think again! A very old Christmas special has been circulation online over the past several days and it’s a true Christmas miracle that someone dug up such great footage from a 1980’s holiday special: Arnold’s Very Special Christmas Party.

According to Schwarzenegger, the Devil would pay bad kids a visit in Austria!

“The Devil would come in with his chains and mean-looking and read off all the bad things we did,” starts The Oak. “He would say, ‘you got bad grades, you didn't go to school one day, you were bad to your mother’… and he would grab you and want to take you away.”

After the horror story by Arnold, you’ll love the rest of this festive star-studded holiday party! Watch it below, NOW!

Now here’s another video gift for you. It’s our tree-lighting ceremony of the official TheArnoldFans.comChristmas tree. Come gather around as we plug in the lights. On the count of three, everyone click on the video below. ONE, TWO, THREE…GO!

Fans were treated to a white Christmas celebration in Austria this year. Our friend Helga at the Arnie’s Life Museum sent us many great photos of their first fan meeting, which took place on December 15th and 16th. Here Arnold fans could partake in a swap meet, eat cookies, see some arts and crafts and travel through Thal with a horse drawn carriage!

"Our visitors had the chance to see Karl Kainrath and Kurt Marnul. The two companions of Arnold gave autographs and talked about the time with Mr. Schwarzenegger! Then there was a contest: all fans and visitors could join the contest. They were allowed to lift the original weight of Arnold Schwarzenegger and estimate the weight! The winners will be informed soon."

Merry Christmas, everyone! Be safe and turn that bowl full of jelly belly into fantastic muscles. Now get to da gym and pump up your holiday spirit!
