Is Kurt Warner happy that a national TV show is featuring his Arizona mansion?  

Is retired Arizona Cardinals football player Kurt Warner happy that a national TV show is featuring he and wife Brenda’s Paradise Valley mansion? You bet! Because not only did HGTV transform the Warner’s 11,300 sq. foot home into a holiday wonderland for its upcoming special- but their contemporary abode is now for sale.

Pictured above are the Warners in their Paradise Valley home - a photo Brenda took herself before they moved to Scottsdale. The HGTV special “Celebrity Holiday Homes” will first air on Dec 4, 2011; however, it was filmed last Christmas.  In June of this year, Kurt and Brenda moved their family of seven children to Scottsdale and put the Paradise Valley home up for sale.  They outgrew the home which they bought before Brenda knew she was pregnant with the twins.

The HGTV’s cameras also followed the Warners as they prepared for the holidays. (Can you imagine the neighbor’s delightful surprise when they discovered that one of the Christmas carolers on the street singing was the famous NFL quarterback? Christine and husband Mark were also caroling with the Warners for the filming and the holiday filming feast.)

Besides the elaborate décor and holiday lights for the TV special– the network added culinary scenes as well- including a holiday meal with fountains of flowing chocolate for dessert.  The TV special premiering Sunday, Dec. 4, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, features the Warners and two other celebrities, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and CSI Miami star Eva LaRue.
