A handful of the special guests set to join Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas TV special on NBC this holiday season have been unveiled.
A modern-day musical about the making of a network TV special, Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas shows the backstage story and on-camera results of Parton’s desire to share the unique “mountain magic” she has always found in and around Dollywood at Christmas. Throughout the production, Parton takes a private journey into her past, guided by the mysterious appearances of her personal Three Wise Mountain Men. The decorated entertainer aims to show the world that the real magic of Christmas lies in the people we share it with, and how her faith remains the common thread between Christmases past, present, and future.
Among the stars slated to join the country icon are Jimmy Fallon, Willie Nelson, Billy Ray Cyrus, Jimmie Allen, Zach Williams and Miley Cyrus. In addition to Parton serving as the lead role, the film will also star Tom Everett Scott, Ana Gasteyer and Angel Parker, with additional cast members to be announced in the coming months.
David Rambo will write and executive produce with Sam Haskell and Parton, while Joe Lazarov will direct and executive produce. Hudson Hickman will executive produce and Billy Levin will serve as producer. Warner Bros. Television will produce the show in association with Magnolia Hill Productions and Sandollar Productions.
