There’s plenty of great TV to enjoy this holiday season, including special Christmas episodes of popular shows, repeats of classic favorites, and fun celebrity editions of well-loved game shows.
If you’re looking for a more classic Christmas experience and want to reconnect with the spirit of the season, Carols from King’s will be back again this year.
The world-renowned choir returns this year with their beloved Christmas tradition: a candlelit service of music, scripture, and prayer, broadcast live from the stunning King’s College Chapel in Cambridge.
I recently had the chance to preview a beautiful Christmas carol service, and I’m happy to report it’s going to be broadcast on BBC Two twice over the holidays! What really struck me was how effectively it blended the experience of being there in person with the warmth of watching from home. It’s a truly lovely performance of all your favorite, classic Christmas carols – the kind that just feels…right for the season.
