Plot Synopsis

On Wednesday, December 13, 2023 at 11pm ET/PT, IFC premiered "A Holiday Special," a new half-hour IN THE KITCHEN WITH HARRY HAMLIN special, hosted by Harry Hamlin and his niece (classically trained chef) Renee Guilbault. Shot in Hamlin's home kitchen, the 30-minute cooking show is a unique combination of cooking, dinner party, and documentary...all with a dash of comedy and "feels" along the way. It arrives just in time for the holidays as the duo prepares a festive meal, putting their own spin on classic beef bourguignon, and celebrates the labor of love that is holiday cooking. They'll be joined by close family and friends, including Hamlin's wife, actress Lisa Rinna; saxophone legend Kenny G, Hamlin's daughter model, Delilah Hamlin; Hamlin's son model and actor, Dimitri Hamlin; and others.

The special serves as a preview to the five-episode series, IN THE KITCHEN WITH HARRY HAMLIN, which is scheduled to debut in May 2024 on IFC and AMC+. The series will put Hamlin's passion for cooking and Guilbault's expertise on full display as they share favorite recipes, practical kitchen tips and secrets for a successful dinner party that exudes casual elegance, welcoming new guests into the Hamlin kitchen each week.
