If the Grinch is supposed to steal Christmas than why am I so excited about his arrival this season?

Oh wait, I know–maybe it’s because China Glaze is bringing us one of the most fabulously festive nail polish collections this holiday season to celebrate the new movie, “The Grinch” starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of the iconic Dr. Seuss character intent on taking away the Christmas spirit from the residents of Who-ville.  There will be no joy snatching with these polishes though!

The 8-shade collection includes shimmery shades of pink, frosty metallics, traditional red, brilliant glitter, icy blue, a deep purple hue, and–of course, GREEN!

A few weeks ago I told you about John Legend working on an upcoming Christmas album, and today he officially announced it this morning–along with a tour and a sneak peek one of the songs!

The recent EGOT winner (that stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, btw!) took to social media to give us the scoop on his new holiday record, A Legendary Christmas. The video included a behind-the-scenes peek at the album art photoshoot with his family as a snippet of “Bring Me Love”, one of six original tracks on the album plays over the montage.

Pentatonix has another Christmas album on the way!

In what has become a new tradition, the beloved a capella group (consisting of vocalists Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola and Matt Sallee) announced last week that they’re releasing their fourth holiday album this October entitled, Christmas Is Here!

In addition to the album announcement, PTX also told fans that they would be embarking on a concert tour to support the record. They posted the dates of their Christmas Is Here! Tour on their social accounts and added that the first single off of the record would be a cover of “Making Christmas” from the Tim Burton classic, “The Nightmare Before Christmas”.

You’re going to need a big cup of coffee for this, and I suggest a Christmas blend because UPtv is giving you 7-days-straight of “Gilmore Girls” this Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday season.

For their annual GilMORE the Merrier programming, Scott Patterson, with a nod to his character, Luke, will host the marathon that’s slated to show all 153 episodes!

That’s right, all seven seasons–from start to finish–24 hours a day!

There’s something about a red winter coat that just screams “it’s Christmas time!” In fact, one of my favorite things to see when watching holiday movies is how festive the wardrobe is.

I can’t help it, I love fashion…especially when it’s festive!

Jessica Lowndes is returning for her fourth Christmas movie this year, starring opposite Michael Rady in “Christmas at Pemberley Manor” and, in the film, her character Elizabeth Bennet wears a gorgeous red fit-and-flare coat. Needless to say, I had to track it down immediately–and I found it!

Elizabeth is wearing the Via Spiga Double Breasted Wool Skating Coat in Red. It’s currently still available (in Navy as well) on Amazon.com, but the prices vary in size ranging from $66.09 – $195.98.

It’s been 25 years since “The Wonder Years” went off air, so I guess you could say the upcoming reunion between two of its stars is long overdue.

As you might already know, Danica McKellar is returning to the Hallmark Channel this Christmas to lead “Christmas at Grand Valley” — but, Entertainment Tonight has learned that her former ‘Wonder Years’ co-star, Dan Lauria, will be joining her in the holiday film!

Synopsis: Burned out from the hubbub of the Chicago gallery world, artist Kelly (McKellar) returns home to the picturesque Grand Valley just in time for Christmas. Maybe her favorite town’s shining season will reinvigorate her love of art and guide her down her next path. Leo (Brennan Elliott), businessman and all-star dad to his children, struggles to balance his time this holiday season. When he is assigned to review a hotel in Grand Valley for its value, he sees this as the perfect opportunity for a Christmas family vacation. It isn’t long until Kelly and Leo’s worlds collide. As Kelly re-experiences her favorite Grand Valley traditions with Leo and his children, she begins to find her way back to her passion for art.

Laura will play McKeller’s father, Frank Riley, the town diner owner who has been dubbed “Mayor of Christmas” by the town because of his love and dedication to the most ‘wonderful’ time of the year.

I’m super excited about the holiday news today because one of my favorite nail polish brands is launching a seriously festive collection, and it’s a collaboration with one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year. OPI has teamed up with Walt Disney Pictures for their Holiday 2018 Collection and, get this, it’s themed around “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms”!

The ultra-gorgeous, and widely assorted, collection features so many colors ‘yule’ love that I can’t even imagine how you could decide which color to wear first! You’ll find cool blues, lush green, pretty pinks, sparkling glitters and quiet a few tones of classic Christmas red in this 15-shade line.

Last night, Kellie Pickler hosted the “Christmas: A Second Look Preview Special”, which is Hallmark Channel’s insider look at the original movies premiering during their Countdown to Christmas programming this year, and 2018 is going to jam-packed with romantic holiday magic!

While Kellie made sure to recap the movies Lacey Chabert gave us a sneak peek at over the summer during the first preview special, she put the focus on 4 other upcoming films: “Road to Christmas”, “Mingle All the Way”, “Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa” and “A Majestic Christmas”.

Get the scoop below!

Republic Records

Jessie J joins the list of artists giving us all new Christmas music this year!

The British singer is gearing up to release her very first holiday album, This Christmas Day, on October 26th. The album includes the title track original song as well as several classics produced with a legendary team: David Foster, Rodney Jerkins, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

Jessie included “Man with the Bag” on the record, which was previously released in 2015–and she teams up with Boyz II Men on “Winter Wonderland” and Babyface on “The Christmas Song”.

Jessie talked about making This Christmas Day in an official press release, “I had so much fun recording this holiday album! I did it in fourteen days around my Summer tour, flying back and forth to LA from Europe. The chance to work with David Foster, Babyface, Rodney Jerkins, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Boyz II Men was a DREAM COME TRUE. The talent they all have blows my mind.”

The past few weeks have been filled with cast announcements for Hallmark’s upcoming holiday programming, and today is no different.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Josh Henderson, Megan Park, and Jean Smart are the latest names heading to the networks for Christmas this year!

Henderson and Park (“My Christmas Love”) will costar in “Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas” for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. The film is based off of the 2012 Blake Shelton song as well as the book, of the same name, by Shelton’s mother, Dorothy Shackleford.
