Max Headroom was massive in the mid to late 80s, with multiple TV shows, endorsement deals with companies like Coca-Cola, and even a Christmas special, Max Headroom’s Giant Christmas Turkey, which spawned the musical single, “Merry Christmas Santa Claus (You’re a Lovely Guy).” The Christmas special aired on December 18th, 1986, in the US on Cinemax and on Boxing Day in the UK.
