00:00 Will Dolly Parton have a new Christmas special in 2023?

00:03 Here's what we know.

00:04 Dolly Parton always does Christmas right, and just like her hair, the bigger the better.

00:08 Parton has plenty of original Christmas songs and covers and always makes sure that Dollywood

00:12 is decorated to the nines for the holiday season.

00:15 She is also the queen of Christmas specials.

00:17 As of right now, it doesn't look like she'll have a new special this year.

00:20 Which means this year is perfect for watching any you may have missed in years past or re-watching

00:25 your old favorites.

00:26 Her most recent special, Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas, debuted in December

00:30 2022 and is definitively the most star-studded special Parton has put together to date.

00:35 Of course, Parton herself is in the film along with musical guests Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus,

00:40 Billy Ray Cyrus, Jimmy Fallon, Zath Williams, and two of Dolly's sisters, Rachel Parton

00:45 George and Cassie Parton.

00:47 Included in the film are performances of some of Dolly's hit songs like "9 to 5" and

00:51 "I Will Always Love You" and Christmas classics like "Away in a Manger."

00:55 Follow Dolly's desire to uplift an exhausted world's spirits by sharing the unique mountain

00:59 magic.

01:00 Throughout the chaos, Dolly finds herself taking a journey guided by the mysterious

01:04 appearances of her three wise mountain men.

01:07 The IMB synopsis reveals, "The special originally premiered on NBC, so that's a good place

01:12 to look for reruns of the film this year."

01:14 Two can also rent Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas from streamers including Amazon

01:18 Prime Video and YouTube for $3.99.

01:22 Starting October 31, the movie will be available on DVD from retailers including Target and

01:26 Amazon for $14.99.

01:29 You can go ahead and pre-order now.

01:31 Dolly also has several other holiday films out that you can watch this holiday season.

01:35 In 2020, she released Christmas on the Square in collaboration with Netflix, which is still

01:40 streaming on the platform.

01:41 She also has a Hallmark Movies called Christmas at Dollywood 2019, which highlights the magic

01:46 in the air at the Dolly's Amusement Park during a holiday season.

01:50 Christmas at Dollywood streams on Hallmark Movies now.

01:52 Lastly, she has a two-part film, Code of Many Colors 2015 and Dolly Parton's Christmas

01:58 of Many Colors Circle of Love 2016, produced by NBC.

02:02 Both films in the series are available to rent from Amazon and YouTube.

02:06 Whichever film you choose, make sure to watch on because Dolly is sure to get you in the

02:10 right headspace to tackle the holidays with grace and style.

02:13 The minute that she walked in the auditorium, the air felt different.

02:17 Students at Eakin Elementary School in Nashville, Tennessee are going to be telling the story

02:21 of how Dolly Parton filmed a music video in their school for the rest of their lives.

02:25 And honestly, we couldn't be more jealous.

02:27 The new video for Parton's cover of What's Up? by four non-blondes with Linda Perry was

02:32 shot at the historic school over the summer, on what was reportedly the hottest day of

02:36 the year.

02:37 The minute that she walked in the auditorium, the air felt different.

02:40 Teacher Janna York told Dolly of the thing.

02:42 Though students and staff don't appear in the video, they were able to watch Parton

02:46 during filming.

02:47 "I love her songs," Nora, York's daughter and a third-grade student at Eakin, told the

02:51 local news station.

02:52 "And I love this new song that just came out because it takes place in Eakin Elementary,

02:57 which is my school, which is crazy."

02:59 Principal Eric Hartfelder told The LUSNV how much Parton's presence meant to the students.

03:04 "This is the lady who created the amusement park you love to go to," he recalled explaining

03:08 to them.

03:09 "Or the books that fill your shelf.

03:10 That she's so much more than a musician.

03:12 She's an inspiration."

03:13 "What's Up?" is featured on Parton's first ever rock album, Rockstar, which is

03:17 due out in November.

03:18 "First of all, I love Linda Perry," Parton said in a press statement.

03:22 "Second of all, I love this song written by Linda.

03:25 Third of all, I love being a part of this video to try to make people think about what's

03:28 going on in this world today."

03:30 Shout out to the little children that helped with the video.

03:32 "If our children don't make it, then what will?"

03:35 Again, I ask.

03:36 "What's Up?"
