CBS’s venerable holiday special, “A Home for the Holidays,” gets a Groban-sized makeover this year. Sure, the heartwarming adoption stories are still the centerpiece, but with Josh Groban at the helm as host and executive producer, the special adds a fresh coat of musical paint and, well, a live adoption.
Groban, a man whose dulcet tones could melt a snowman’s frosty heart, isn’t just lending his voice to the proceedings. He’s curating a musical lineup that would make Santa himself hang up his stocking. Joining him are the likes of James Bay, Jennifer Hudson, Tori Kelly, and The War and Treaty. That’s quite the festive quartet.
The special plans to deliver a mix of holiday standards, new releases, and, of course, Groban-infused duets. One can only imagine the musical magic that might unfold when Groban and Hudson share a stage. The special promises a unique blend of comedy, music, and the emotional narratives that have made “A Home for the Holidays” a CBS staple since 1999.
But amidst the musical merriment, the core mission of the special remains: to shine a light on foster care and adoption. The live adoption ceremony, a new addition to the format, brings an immediacy and real-world impact to the message.
Tune in to “A Home for the Holidays” on Friday, December 20, 2024, at 9 PM ET on CBS.
