Dolly Parton will star in NBC’s new holiday movie ‘Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas’.
The project is described as a “modern-day musical about the making of a network TV special” and follows her 2020 flick ‘Dolly Parton’s Christmas On The Square’.
“Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas is the frenetic backstage story and delightful on-camera results of Dolly’s desire to uplift an exhausted world’s spirits by sharing the unique ‘mountain magic’ she has always found in and around Dollywood at Christmas,” a description reads.
“Throughout the movie’s production numbers and rehearsal chaos, Dolly finds herself taking a private journey into her past, guided by the mysterious appearances of her personal Three Wise Men.
“When it’s time for her big special to air live, 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 realisation that Christmas is about the people we share it with, and how her faith remains the common thread between Christmases past, present, and future.”
It comes as the star is set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this year, after being nominated for the first time.
Despite initially rejecting the accolade, she’s since accepted the honour and has even suggested recording a rock album with the help of the Rolling Stones.
