Dolly Parton Plans 'A Holly Dolly Christmas' For Everyone

Dolly Parton is "sleighing" Christmas in 2020.

The global superstar is inviting everyone to come together and enjoy the holiday wrapped in warmth and fun with her new timely and timeless new holiday record, 'A Holly Dolly Christmas,' but, Dolly's Christmas spirit doesn't end there. Dolly is also plotting a movie marathon takeover alongside the CMT network.

In a recent interview with Cody Alan, the "9 to 5" singer shares why 2020 made for the perfect season to record another holiday project.

"Well, I mean, it's the right time to do anything fun and uplifting, don't you think?" laughs Dolly. "I think that people are not going to get out and do all of the stuff that they would normally do this Christmas. So, I thought, since I have some time on my hands too, I would be creative and inventive and write some new songs, pick some old classics and get some special people to sing and make this 'A Holly Dolly Christmas!'"

Just in time to ring in the holiday season, Dolly's collection boasts 12 classic Christmas tracks, including traditional, spiritual, and all-around jingle jangle holiday music. The collection features a variety of Dolly's legendary friends and family who were happy to join her to create these beautiful mash-ups safely during the COVID-19 lockdowns.  

"I always call it a 'Panic-demic' instead of a pandemic," Dolly says, keeping the conversation light and bright. "We were careful. We were smart. Most of the artists on it, recorded their parts in their studios, and we conversed back and forth by phone and by Facebooking. We had fun, and it gave us all a little something to do."

Can't get enough of Dolly's record? You are in luck. The legend is partnering with CMT to bring fans 'A Holly Dolly Christmas' takeover, which includes an all-day Christmas marathon happening on Saturday, Dec. 5.
