[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Ted Lasso” Season 2, Episode 4, “Carol of the Bells.”]
What will inevitably come to be known as the “Ted Lasso” Christmas Special is officially titled “Carol of the Bells” — a tip of the hat to a classic holiday song in what’s sure to be a classic holiday episode. Could it have been any other way? The Apple TV+ series has become a phenomenon of goodwill and positivity, embodying the trademarks of the season without, until now, so much as a snowman. But Episode 4 leans hard into the Christmas spirit: There’s a Secret Santa gift exchange, a playlist that spans “Jingle Bells” to “Christmas in Hollis,” bags of presents, a Santa hat permanently affixed to Ted’s head, a “Love, Actually” homage, and even a new title sequence complete with green seats turning red and claymation cast members gathering for a holiday card photo.

It looks like Santa got our wish list, because Kacey Musgraves is doing a holiday special. On Monday, Amazon Prime announced its plans for The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show, which will premiere Nov. 29. The cute announcement video shows the country singer donning a festive green dress as she gives out gifts to her star-studded guests.
Schitt's Creek star Dan Levy is set to narrate the special, with musical performances from Leon Bridges, Camila Cabello, Zooey Deschanel, Troye Sivan, and Lana Del Rey. Other guests include Kendall Jenner and Musgraves's very own grandmother Nana. Seeing how amazing her 2016 Christmas album, A Very Kacey Christmas, was, we are super pumped to see what she comes up with for the special. See the official lineup for the special ahead.
"Let It Snow" feat. James Corden "Countdown" - Dialogue "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" "Getting Ready" - Dialogue "Present Without a Bow" feat.

Married vlogger duo Jess and Gabriel Conte, who frequently discuss their Christian faith on their popular social channels -- which reach 10 million followers across all platforms -- have released their first Christmas Ep titled I’ll Be Home.
And even before Thanksgiving has come and gone, the couple’s fans are clearly hungry for some holiday cheer: the album hit the No. 1 position on the iTunes 'Holiday' charts, as well as No. 8 in albums overall. It is currently No. 2 on the Holiday charts, second to Pentatonix's Christmas Is Here! I’ll Be Home, priced at $6, features five Christmas standards: "Let It Snow," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Oh Come All Ye Faithful," "Feliz Navidad," and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas."
The Contes have collaborated musically on three previous EPs: an acoustic pop cover franchise called Under The Covers (which has yielded two volumes to date) and Greater, an album of worship covers.
