LOS ANGELES

Lucille Ball’s classic antics are colorized in an “I Love Lucy” holiday special airing on CBS. But daughter Lucie Arnaz’s vivid family Christmas memories don’t require any embellishment to shine.

She fondly recalls watching her parents on the set of “I Love Lucy,” and hopes the “I Love Lucy Christmas Special” (tonight at 8, CBS) will introduce the sitcom to a new generation of viewers.

The hourlong program includes colorized versions of a Christmas special and one in which Lucy memorably stomps grapes for wine in Italy.
