The longstanding holiday tradition continues as PBS and BYUtv present Joy: Christmas with Tabernacle Choir. A heartwarmingly 90-minute special that has spanned more than two decades, featuring an impressive lineup of stage and screen.
This year Broadway star Michael Maliakel (Disney’s Aladdin) and actress Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) join the ranks of top stars featured in the past. Performers like Gladys Knight, Roma Downey, Angela Lansbury, Audra McDonald, Natalie Cole, Sutton Foster, Jane Seymour, Kristin Chenoweth and even the Sesame Street Muppets.
