Dolly Parton expanding 'Holly Dolly Christmas'

A Holly Dolly Christmas: Ultimate Deluxe Edition due this fall

Dolly Parton is expanding her 2020 Christmas album, A Holly Dolly Christmas, with eight tracks, including rarities making their CD, vinyl and digital debuts. A Holly Dolly Christmas: Ultimate Deluxe Edition will be available on October 14th on CD and 2 LP white vinyl via Warner Music Nashville. The music will also be available the same day on digital and streaming services. Parton’s classic track “A Smoky Mountain Christmas,” one of the rarities from the Ultimate Deluxe Edition, is now available digitally.

“A Smoky Mountain Christmas,” was originally featured in Parton’s 1986 holiday film of the same name. The new collection includes two other songs from the movie, “(I’d Like To Spend) Christmas With Santa” and “Wrapped Up In You.”

A Holly Dolly Christmas debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums when it was originally released in October 2020. On several songs, Parton is joined by guest performers, including Michael Bublé, Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Cyrus, Jimmy Fallon, Willie Nelson, and her late brother, Randy. The album produced four singles: “Mary, Did You Know?” “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” “Christmas On The Square,” and the top 10 AC hit “Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas” with Bublé.

“Three Candles” and “The Wish Book” – originally released as digital-only bonus tracks will make their CD and LP debuts on the Ultimate Deluxe Edition. The new collection also features the digital debut for “Something Bigger Than Me” and “Silent Night,” songs that Parton contributed to the 1997 animated holiday film Anabelle’s Wish. The final bonus track on the Ultimate Deluxe Edition is “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” Parton’s top 5 AC duet with Rod Stewart from his Grammy Award-winning 2004 album, Stardust…the Great American Songbook, Volume III.

This holiday season, Parton can be seen starring in Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas on NBC. The modern day musical is the frenetic backstage story and delightful on-camera results of Parton’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. She’s recently been spotted filming in her Dollywood theme park in East Tennessee along with Willie Nelson, Jimmy Fallon and others.
