Modern Family may be one of the shows that went on too long , but even four years after the mockumentary series ended, there are some wondering if it will ever come back. And it nearly did. There was initially a spinoff in the works after the, which would've centered on Cam and Mitchell’s life in Missouri.

Recently, Cameron Tucker actor Eric Stonestreet revealed the spinoff didn’t pan out . While it will no longer be happening, Stonestreet still has ideas as to how to keep the franchise going, and I'm here for them! The Emmy winner appeared on In Depth with Graham Bensinger , where he talked all about the ill-fated spinoff. Even though he still seems hurt by what happened, noting that he thinks the show would still be on had it gone to series, he doesn’t know how it would work now from a business and creative standpoint.

He did, however, tell Bensinger just how the franchise should keep going, and his concept is quite festive: I wish we would do a Christmas special or something like that. And there's been talk of that. Like a couple writers have had that idea of, like, doing sort of like British, sort of versions of Christmas specials.

Like a two-hour movie every once in a while. That'd be fun.
