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.

On the heels of the successful “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem” limited series, Alison Sweeney returns to Salem to reprise her 25+year role as Sami Brady for the very first “Days of our Lives” spin-off movie! The fan-favorite troublemaker will be seen in “Days of Our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas,“ which is set to exclusively debut on Peacock, the NBC subscription streaming service on Thursday, December 16th.

In the Peacock Original holiday movie, Will Horton (played by Chandler Massey) writes a screenplay before his Christmas Eve deadline. Using everyone’s favorite feel-good holiday movie tropes, he creates a festive story based on his family and friends in Salem — but with several twists and turns you’ll never see coming.

Peacock has announced “The Real Housewives of the North Pole”, an original movie coming to the NBC streaming service this holiday season that will star Betsy Brandt (“Breaking Bad,” “Soulmates,” “Life in Pieces”) and Kyle Richards (“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” “Halloween”).

Directed by Ron Oliver, the movie follows the Christmas Queens of North Pole, Vermont, Trish (Richards) and Diana (Brandt), who have won the Best Holiday House decorating competition every year for the past nine years. But days before Christmas, a friendship-ending argument sparks a town-wide feud and draws the attention of a national magazine writer hoping to make a name for herself with her scintillating expose titled, “Real Housewives of the North Pole.”

Production will begin in Utah this month with a premiere eyed for sometime later this year on Peacock. Stay tuned to LollyChristmas.com for more details, including an official premiere date, as they become available.
