Thanks for posting this! Because of this, I bought the DVD of the Frank/Bing show and while researching it I discovered that it wasn't a special but an
episode of Franks short-lived 1957 TV show:

Here's an article about the episode from 2002:

For diehard fans of Frank Sinatra, it may be the ultimate Christmas present.
Earlier this year, the Chairman of the Board's daughter Nancy Sinatra made a
most welcome discovery among the dust-covered items in her father's still
uncatalogued archive: an extremely rare 35 mm print of a long-lost holiday
episode of the ambitious but failed 1957 ABC television series, The Frank
Sinatra Show. The episode, "Happy Holidays with Bing and Frank," teams Ol'
Blues Eyes with the popular crooner who preceded him in the public eye, Bing
Crosby.
The rest of the article (with an interesting explanation as to why it was filmed in color) can be found at this link:
