"I can tell you where you to put it if you don't like where you got it," Dolly chuckled to Kelly Clarkson of bad days.
courtesy NBC It's that time of year to embrace the Christmas spirit, and Dolly Parton is helping us do just that with a new Christmas special. What is Dolly Parton's 2022 Christmas special? The country icon's new NBC special, Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas, premiered on Thursday, December 1. The movie musical is set at the star's Tennessee amusement park, Dollywood, and features stars like Jimmy Fallon (with whom she shares a Christmas song), Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus, Willie Nelson, and more. "I just feel like that it was time for me to do another special like this, with good music, with comedy, with meaningful things," Parton told People. "And to kind of make you feel entertained for a couple hours just to get away from everything else." She continued, "Being magical is to lift up out of yourself and your troubles for a little while. To me, if you can even do that, even with one song, then that is magical. I just think the whole idea of trying to make things uplifting is magic within itself.". How can you watch Dolly Parton's movie on NBC? If you missed the premiere of Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas, no worries: You can still watch the holiday extravaganza if you didn't catch it live. The 90 min special is currently streaming on both NBC.com and Peacock. If you can't get enough of Parton's holiday spirit, you can also stream her film Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love on Peacock.

"SHE'S OUT!" seasoned country artist Emily Miller exclaimed - in this instance "she" being both a proud new recording and also Mary, the mother of Jesus. "Mary, did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?" Victoriously adding to the hundreds of artists to cover these and other lines of this beloved Christmas classic with-a-twist-tale on the immaculate conception. Miller delivers. The WSM Radio Spotlight Artist songbird's unique ethereal-esque tones bring a special rasp to the recording that you may not see coming. Not so much a growl (even the animals watching over Him likely learned not to growl around the baby Jesus), as a reverent strong tone which could be likened almost to that of a slightly bolder "Climb" era Miley Cyrus (said with only the best of intent). In fact, Miller had a literal "come to Jesus" moment in this recording process...not only in its revered storied subject matter but in thanking God for the ability to even hit the notes to praise Him in the first place: "I know there’s a reason that kiwi almost killed me. It was to teach me to slow down and take this voice God has given me as a true blessing." So, yes. You might say it was an uphill battle, a climb if you will - to even get made in the first place and it's a small miracle this thing actually hit the presses. If you've never before heard "Mary, Did You Know?" then you might want to be prepared to invest some time in doing so. Its writer Mark Lowry was a member of the Gaither Vocal Band at the time and after its initial recording by fellow Gaither member Michael English (with music by tourmate Buddy Greene), the Biblical creation and its benevolent wonderment has landed in the hands of many more messengers in its travels. So popular that Lowry closes his show with the song (Christmas show or no), "Mary" has since spread to hundreds, including via duet with Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd, a well-rotated radio cut for Kathy Mattea, to Dolly Parton and even CeeLo Green on the journey.
