Music sensations Justin Bieber, Kane Brown, Alessia Cara and Darren Criss will all take part in the upcoming CBS special, “A Home for the Holidays at The Grove,“ which shares uplifting stories of adoption from foster care and raising awareness of this important social issue. The special will be broadcasted on Sunday, December 5th at 9:30pm ET/9pm PT.

This is the 23rd year of the “A Home for a Holidays” event, and this year it was filmed at the famed retail, dining and entertainment destination The Grove in Los Angeles, California. The award-winning special has shined a light on the thousands of American children in foster care over more than two decades, and has inspired tens of thousands of adoptions.

In addition to inspirational stories of several families and performances from the musical talent featured, country singer Brown will introduce the Rodriguez family for a special live adoption.

There is no holiday kick-off quite like the iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and this year the tradition is ringing in its 95th year! You can expect to see ‘a spectacle like no other’ when 15 giant character balloons, 28 floats, 36 novelty and heritage inflatables, more than 800 clowns, 10 marching bands and 9 performance groups, a host of musical stars — and, of course, Santa Claus — march their way down the streets of New York City on Thanksgiving morning.

“Today” show anchors Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker will host the three-hour telecast; viewers nationwide can catch all the action via the special broadcasts on NBC and Telemundo, from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. in all time zones, and for the first time fans can also livestream coverage on Peacock. NBC will air an encore of the Parade from 2-5 p.m. ET.

The Spanish-language simulcast on Telemundo will be hosted by “En Casa con Telemundo’s” Ana Jurka and Carlos Adyan, accompanied by Freddy Lomelí live from Sixth Avenue, and will feature a special appearance by current Miss Universe, Andrea Meza.

There is a lot of holiday music coming out in the coming weeks, but a highly-anticipated album dropped on Friday… the first Christmas album from Darren Criss!

The singer/actor, best known for a breakout role on the musical FOX series Glee, has released his first full-length venture into holiday music, and we think it was long overdue. Darren’s beautiful voice is perfect for the Christmas season, so we suggest checking out his album, A Very Darren Crissmas!

On the record, you’ll find traditional holiday tracks like “The Christmas Song” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” as well as more modern covers like Criss’ rendition of John Mayer‘s “St. Patrick’s Day” and Regina Spektor‘s “New Year”.  He also teams up with actress Evan Rachel Wood on “Somewhere In My Memory”, from the Home Alone soundtrack, and with former Glee co-star Adam Lambert for “(Everybody’s Waitin’ For) The Man With The Bag”.
