Watch on Deadline
The GHOSTSmas special, “A Very Arondekar Christmas Part 1” and “A Very Arondekar Christmas Part 2,” will see a leaky water heater mishap threaten to ruin holiday plans as Sam and Jay prepare to host Jay’s hard-to-please dad, difficult-to-impress mom and sister Bela (Punam Patel).
Champa (Jaffrey) is Jay’s doting mother who has much less patience for her daughter-in-law Sam (McIver), whom she blames for Jay moving far away from them. Champa runs the family’s text chain, known as the “Core Four,” which Sam is desperate to be allowed onto.
Although Mahesh (White) secretly respects his son’s culinary talents, he’s still hopeful his son will become an engineer instead of relying on the high-risk businesses of the B&B and the restaurant.
