Dolly is doing the promotional thing for the Dec. 1 premiere of her NBC movie.
Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas — the most meta Christmas movie you’re likely to see this season — will premiere at 8 pm ET Thursday, Dec. 1 on NBC. So, of course, our favorite country queen is out on the promotional trail.
Dolly’s already given us a sneak peek at the two-hour film on YouTube. And she will be making a personal appearance with one of her co-stars when she visits The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at 11:35 pm ET Wednesday. Also on her schedule: The Today Show at 8 am ET Thursday, and The Kelly Clarkson Show later in the day. (Check your local listings for time and channel.)
What is the movie all about? According to NBC:
“A modern-day movie musical about the making of a network TV special, Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas is the frenetic backstage story and delightful on-camera results of Dolly’s desire to uplift an exhausted world’s spirits by sharing the unique mountain magic she has always found in and around Dollywood at Christmas. Throughout the movie’s production numbers and rehearsal chaos, Dolly finds herself taking a private journey into her past, guided by the mysterious appearances of her personal Three Wise Mountain Men.
“When it’s time for her big special to air, a renewed and inspired Dolly goes rogue and shows the world that the real magic of Christmas lies in the hearts of the children we all once were, the realization that Christmas is about the people we share it with, and how her faith remains the common thread between Christmases past, present, and future.”
Got questions? Well, Dolly’s got answers. She always does, you know.
