Dolly Parton to Bring Holiday Cheer to CBS in Brand New Special ‘A Holly Dolly Christmas’
Country’s Christmas Queen is getting ready for a holiday extravaganza on CBS!
The network announced that Dolly Parton will star in an hourlong special titled “A Holly Dolly Christmas” on Sunday, December 6th!
“I am so proud to be a part of the CBS family this holiday season with my new Christmas special,” the 74-year-old said in a statement.
“When Dolly Parton calls and tells you she wants to do a Christmas show, you don’t hesitate,” added Jack Sussman, executive vice president of specials, music and live Events/alternative and reality for CBS. “A special with the multi-Grammy Award-winning, prolific songwriting, epic live performer of all time? She had us at hello.”
The special will be available on CBS and CBS All Access.
The press release notes that the special will add “much-needed joy and holiday cheer at the end of this challenging year.”
The country music legend is also set to perform from an “intimate, candlelit set.”
Parton is going big for the holidays this year (and let’s be honest, we need all the joy we can get). In addition to debuting her first Christmas album in 30 years last month, she’s also set to start in a holiday musical film on Netflix titled “Christmas on the Square” where she plays an angel trying to convince a Scrooge-like woman to believe in the power of the holidays. The film will be available to stream on November 22.
There’s nothing like a Dolly Parton holiday!
Merely weeks after the devastating cancellation of NBC’s Manifest, TVLine confirms that the network has been in talks with Warner Bros. and Netflix about a possible Season 4. However, reps for NBC, Netflix, and Warner Bros. have refused to comment for now.
Following the news of the supernatural drama’s abrupt ending in mid-June, fans took to social media with the hashtag #SaveManifest in hopes of reversing the decision and getting it picked up by another network.

After the release of the first two seasons on streaming services, the series quickly dominated the charts. It remained on Netflix’s “Top 10” watched shows for 27 consecutive days and Nielsen’s weekly streaming chart during the week of June 14.
Jeff Rake, Manifest’s showrunner, tweeted in late June, “Your support is awe-inspiring…we’re not giving up. You deserve an end to the story.”
While Rake has not confirmed that another season is officially happening, he did note: “Lots of speculation out there. No comment. Other than, if the impossible happens and the dead rise again, it’s because of YOU.”

Whatever it takes, Rake will even choose to produce a two-hour movie to bring closure to Manifest.
So Manifesters, you’ve been heard, and you can only get louder from here! Will the answers you’ve been waiting for resurface in a possible Season 4 pick-up? Will 828 fly again?
