I too thought I was mixing holiday specials from my youth as my sisters, husband, and friends of the same age did not remember anything about this special. I'm very relieved to see I was right. I think I saw it several times in a 1-2 year period on a UHF channel (maybe from Canada as I'm just across Lake Ontario and used to watch many Canadian shows - The Polka Dot Door among others). I seem to recall something about the townspeople saving someone who fell through the ice and a glowing sphere that was musical, also something about it being near a junk yard. Remarkably this special has stayed with me as well and I would welcome the chance to see it again. Each year I hope to catch it among the repeated specials on cable, but have had no luck so far. At least my curiosity has been satisfied.
