What is Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas about?

Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas is a “modern-day movie musical” that shows viewers how a network television special is made, according to NBC. During the production numbers and rehearsals, Parton will be guided by the “mysterious appearance” of the Three Wise Mountain Men.

Read the rest of the synopsis below:

"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."

If you’re hoping to hear some of Parton’s popular songs, then you’ll be happy to know a couple of them will be included in the film! “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You” are two to look forward to, as well as a new holiday song.
