This December, “Christmas With The Tabernacle Choir” returns to PBS for the 16th consecutive year with Kristin Chenoweth, the Emmy® and Tony® Award-winning actress and singer. The beloved Choir Christmas special has been the No. 1 holiday program on PBS for 14 of the past 15 years.

In addition to beloved Christmas carols, the program features a range of genres, with songs from Broadway, Hollywood, pop, country, classical and Christian/gospel, including “We Need a Little Christmas” from “Mame,” “O Holy Night,” “Angels Among Us,” “What Child Is This?” and “Somewhere in My Memory” from “Home Alone.”
