Details via press release from NBC...
A modern-day movie musical about the making of a network TV special, "Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas" is the frenetic backstage story and delightful on-camera results of Dolly's desire to uplift an exhausted world's spirits by sharing the unique "mountain magic" she has always found in and around Dollywood at Christmas. Throughout the movie's production numbers and rehearsal chaos, Dolly finds herself taking a private journey into her past, guided by the mysterious appearances of her personal Three Wise Men. When it's time for her big special to air live, a renewed and inspired Dolly goes rogue and shows the world that the real magic of Christmas lies in the hearts of the children we all once were, the realization that Christmas is about the people we share it with, and how her faith remains the common thread between Christmases past, present, and future.
David Rambo will write and executive produce with Sam Haskell and Dolly Parton. Billy Levin and Bobby Kelly will produce. Hudson Hickman will co-executive produce.
Warner Bros. Television will produce in association with Magnolia Hill Productions and Sandollar Productions.
Dolly Parton's previous Christmas TV movies include: Coat of Many Colors (which drew 13 million viewers for NBC in 2015), Christmas of Many Colors (pulled in 11.5 million viewers for NBC in 2016), and Christmas at Dollywood (had 3.65 million viewers for the Hallmark Channel in 2019). She also has a Netflix musical/drama titled: Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square. Older Christmas films starring Dolly Parton include: Unlikely Angel and A Smoky Mountain Christmas.
My personal favorite is Coat of Many Colors; it is such an incredibly moving, powerful story about faith, family, and forgiveness.
Hopefully, this new holiday special will also be heartwarming and inspirational.
I just love Dolly!
