CHRISTMAS ROYALTY RETURNS: DOLLY PARTON AND REBA McENTIRE BRING COUNTRY SOUL AND HOLIDAY MAGIC TO ROCKEFELLER CENTER THIS YEAR
New York City — The holiday season is set to sparkle brighter than ever as two of country music’s most beloved legends, Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire, take center stage for NBC’s annual “Christmas at Rockefeller Center” celebration. In a year where music and hope feel more needed than ever, these two trailblazers are uniting to gift America an unforgettable night of heart, harmony, and holiday joy.
Producers have already called the pairing “a once-in-a-generation moment” — and it’s not hard to see why. Between them, Dolly and Reba share more than 120 million albums sold, 50 chart-topping hits, and over six decades of Christmas memories woven into the fabric of American life. Their chemistry — equal parts warmth, wit, and wisdom — promises to make this year’s special a truly iconic event.
💬 “There’s something about Christmas that just brings people together,” Dolly said in a recent interview. “And doing it with Reba — well, that’s a gift in itself.”
Reba echoed the sentiment with her trademark humor and grace:
💬 “Dolly lights up every room she walks into — and I plan to match her sparkle note for note!”
Fans can expect stirring solo performances and heartfelt duets, including classics such as “Silent Night,” “O Holy Night,” “Mary, Did You Know?” and festive favorites from both stars’ holiday albums — Dolly’s The Gift of Christmas and Reba’s own My Kind of Christmas. With full orchestral arrangements, gospel choirs, and an audience gathered beneath the legendary Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, the night promises to be both grand and deeply personal.
But it won’t just be about the songs. Between performances, the two Queens of Country are set to share stories, laughter, and reflections on the meaning of faith, friendship, and family during the holidays.
Industry insiders are already predicting record viewership for the event, describing it as “a perfect meeting of Nashville heart and New York spectacle.” Social media has exploded with excitement since the announcement, with fans calling the collaboration “a Christmas miracle,” and “the duet we’ve waited our whole lives for.”
As one NBC producer put it:
💬 “When Dolly and Reba share a stage, it’s not just a concert — it’s history wrapped in harmony.”
Under the glow of 50,000 lights and the towering beauty of the Rockefeller tree, this celebration will mark not only a musical highlight but a powerful reminder of unity, resilience, and joy — values both women have embodied throughout their legendary careers.
🎁 Two icons. One night. One unforgettable Christmas.
When the final note fades and snow begins to fall over New York City, one thing will be certain: Christmas has never sounded this good — or felt this full of heart.
