Described as a modern-day musical film 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 spirits by sharing the unique “mountain magic” she has always found at Dollywood during Christmastime.

Throughout the movie’s production numbers and rehearsal, Dolly finds herself taking a private journey to her past, guided by the mysterious appearances of her personal Three Wise Mountain Men. When it’s time for her special to air, a renewed Dolly goes rogue to show the world the real magic of Christmas lies in the hearts of the kids that we once were.
