Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas

Matt Roush says...

Living legend Dolly Parton goes meta with her latest TV-movie charmer, which goes behind the scenes of the making of a live Dolly Yuletide special, filmed on location at Tennessee’s Dollywood. It’s a down-home comedy of backstage errors and delights, with plenty of music, 19 tunes in all including “9 to 5” and “When Life Is Good Again,” featuring guests Jimmy Fallon, Jimmie Allen, Miley Cyrus and as the Three Wise Mountain Men, Willie Nelson, Zach Williams and Billy Ray Cyrus. If you miss it, NBC airs it again on Dec. 21. Followed by Deck the Wall: A Holiday Spectacular (10/9c), a special episode of the game show The Wall, in which Cassandra, a mother and pastor from Aurora, Ohio, teams with social-worker daughter Victoria to answer holiday-themed trivia questions, hoping the balls drop in their favor for some big money.
