The two-hour Christmas show will air at 7 p.m. Nov. 27 on ABC and will feature performances from McEntire and other members of Nashville’s country music community.
“I like Christmas shows,” McEntire said. “I think it’s very festive and gets everybody in the ho ho spirit. It’s time for me to do another one. I haven’t done a special in a long time. When they asked me if I would like to do this Christmas show, I said absolutely. It just adds to the family unit, people getting together around the television and watching a special.”
Although still three months out, planning is well underway for costumes, guests, staging and instrumentation, Tennessean reports.
