The holiday season simply wouldn’t be the same without numerous exciting Christmas specials. Some of them are fronted by our favorite music stars, and here are three that got everyone talking this holiday season.

Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special

Mariah Carey is the unofficial queen of Christmas, so it’s not surprising that she gave us the best holiday special of 2020. It features her take on some of the most beloved holiday tunes and celebrity cameos from the likes of Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson.

A Holly Dolly Christmas

This holiday season is pretty magical for Dolly Parton. In addition to appearing in her own Christmas special A Holly Dolly Christmas, alongside Michael Bublé, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Miley Cyrus, she also fronted the Netflix musical Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square.

My Gift: A Christmas Special from Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood’s first Christmas album My Gift hit the shelves earlier this fall and she came up with a perfect way to bring it back into our lives this holiday season. The country star fronted an HBO Christmas special that features the songs from her latest album.
