NBC is wasting zero time kicking off the holiday season!  The network has revealed its holiday programming slate already, and it includes a lot of traditions like the beloved “Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade” coverage, “Christmas in Rockefeller Center,“ and airings of the classics “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “It’s A Wonderful Life”.  NBC will also re-air its Michael Bublé and Kelly Clarkson music specials from last year in addition to the premiere of the highly anticipated movie, “Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas” starring iconic country music legend as well as Miley Cyrus, Willie Nelson, “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon and many others.

Speaking of Cyrus, last year’s inaugural “Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party” was such a hit that it will return this New Year’s Eve, and the singer will be joined by an A-list cast of musicians and celebrities in front of a live audience.

Get in the spirit of the season with Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler for their “Baking It” holiday special, which will coincide with season two of the baking competition series that will air exclusively on the Peacock streaming service.

Check out the full lineup below to keep your holiday cheer through the rest of the year!
