'The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show': Amazon Prime Video Reveals First Holiday Special

We’re about to have ourselves a merry little Christmas, because Amazon Prime Video just announced that its first-ever holiday special is coming out on Nov. 29, and it’s “The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show.”

Musgraves will be joined by several other artists and celebrities who will perform both classic and original holiday songs and other talents in the variety special.

“Schitt’s Creek” star Dan Levy will narrate, while Fred Armisen will perform on “Silent Night,” Leon Bridges on “Present Without A Bow,” Camila Cabello on “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree,” James Corden on “Let It Snow,” Zooey Deschanel on “Mele Kalikimaka,” Lana Del Rey on “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” and Troye Sivan on a brand-new song called “Glittery.” Plus, the Radio City Rockettes will kickline alongside Musgraves as she sings her song “Ribbons and Bows.” Kendall Jenner and Musgrave’s grandma will also be on hand as special guests.

According to Amazon’s description, “The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show” will feature “a whimsical set” and a “dazzling wardrobe,” and will pay tribute to holiday specials of the past “whilst also reinventing just what a Christmas special can be, with a magically modern twist.” You can watch the teaser video above.

“I can say without a doubt that this project is unlike anything I’ve ever done before,” Musgraves said. “What started as the small seed of an idea one night over a year ago has turned into something I’m so proud of. Some truly brilliant comedic and musical guests are featured in the show – as well as my own Grandma. My vision was to bring my old Christmas album to life visually and create a modern and fashionable, fresh take on a classic format. It’s a nostalgic, Wes Anderson-inspired reimagining of the holidays. It’s heartfelt, funny, and most of all, real. I can’t wait to finally share.”

Musgraves is a six-time Grammy award winner, including this year’s Album of the Year and Country Album of the Year for her third studio album “Golden Hour.”

“The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show” is produced by Fulwell 73 Productions and executive produced by Ben Winston, Emma Conway, Kacey Musgraves, and Jason Owen.

'Blade Runner' and 11 Other Sci-Fi Films Set in a Future That's Already in the Past (Photos)

The future is now. From "2001: A Space Odyssey" to "Blade Runner" -- which begins on "Los Angeles/November, 2019" -- Hollywood has depicted a sci-future that now seems very dated. But in some cases, these films even got some things right.
"2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)

Stanley Kubrick's magnum opus did not manage to predict a future of commercial space travel or intergalactic exploration that led to a new paradigm of existence and meaning in the universe. But, it did predict that we would have intelligent computers. Thankfully, Siri and Alexa are not as murderous and conspiring as HAL 9000.
Warner Bros.
"Death Race 2000" (1975)

While the new millennium did not bring about TV shows that featured violent street races to the death as imagined in this David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone thriller, we have seen a surge of reality TV programming not unlike the one in the film. "Death Race" was later remade in 2008 with Jason Statham starring.
New World Pictures
"Escape From New York" (1981)

John Carpenter's "Escape From New York" imagined that all of Manhattan has been turned into a giant, maximum-security prison to manage violence and crime run amok -- and that we'd realize this future by 1997.
20th Century Fox
"Blade Runner" (1982)

Perhaps realizing that we would not have lifelike, sentient robot "replicants" by the year 2019, "Blade Runner" actually got a sequel in 2017 that kicked things forward to 2049.
Warner Bros.
"1984" (1984)

A recurring theme on this list is that movies whose titles are years are inherently dated. And there's no better example of that than the adaptation of George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984." The book was first adapted to the screen in 1956, then again in 1984 itself. But the year still has an unusual connotation with the future, as the latest season of "American Horror Story" was subtitled "1984" and even the second "Wonder Woman" movie with Gal Gadot was set in 1984.
MGM
"The Running Man" (1987)

Another example of how reality TV has taken over the airwaves, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in this campy sci-fi set in 2017 where he's recruited for a deadly, futuristic game show in which he's forced to fight for his survival.
TriStar Pictures
"Akira" (1988)

The futuristic anime "Akira" is set three decades after a nuclear bomb fell on Tokyo and started WWIII, causing gangs of motorcyclists to take to the streets in a battle against oppressive government forces. That didn't happen, but then neither has a planned live-action remake of the film, which has been in development hell for so long that it has passed when the time when the movie is set to take place (2019). Fun fact: The main character of "Akira" awakens to start the film underneath a stadium that's currently under construction in Tokyo, and Japan built a stadium for the pandemic-delayed 2020 Summer Olympics.
Toho
"Back to the Future Part II" (1989)

Damn if scientists haven't tried hard to give us hoverboards by the year 2015, when Robert Zemeckis' "Back to the Future" sequel is set. But we did get an obscene amount of "Jaws" sequels, some of them in 3-D no less. The movie was also a year early on the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series as the team broke a 108-year drought to win the World Series in 2016.
Universal Pictures
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991)

The events of "Terminator 2" are set in 1995 with the expectation that Judgment Day and a nuclear apocalypse triggered by sentient machines was right around the corner in August 1997.
Paramount Pictures
"Freejack" (1992)

In "Freejack," right before a race car driver played by Emilio Estevez is about to die in a horrible car wreck, he's transported to the year 2009 where wealthy billionaires harvest young bodies and implant their own minds inside them so they can live forever. The trailer explains that they harvest people from the past who aren't poisoned by years of a deteriorating ozone layer. Anthony Hopkins, Mick Jagger and Rene Russo also star in the sci-fi film.
Warner Bros.
"Strange Days" (1995)

The events of Kathryn Bigelow's "Strange Days" are set in 1999 just four years removed from when the movie was actually released. It played early on Y2K paranoia and predicted that technology would advance so quickly that we'd have advanced virtual reality and the ability to live within other people's memories in no time at all.
Lightstorm Entertainment
"2012" (2009)

Roland Emmerich didn't get the year right, but he was ahead of his time when it comes to imagining a global catastrophe tied to climate change, a story he also told with "The Day After Tomorrow."
Warner Bros.

Movies like ”1984,“ ”2001: A Space Odyssey“ and ”2012“ have inadvertently dated themselves

The future is now. From "2001: A Space Odyssey" to "Blade Runner" -- which begins on "Los Angeles/November, 2019" -- Hollywood has depicted a sci-future that now seems very dated. But in some cases, these films even got some things right.
