Dolly Parton, Jonas Brothers, Justin Timberlake, and a certain Christmas queen are among those who'll help the Tonight Show Host ring in the season.
We can practically hear the "Christmas Ding Dong" bells already: On December 4, Jimmy Fallon is getting festive on NBC — with help from his famous friends, including Christmas queen Mariah Carey — on Jimmy Fallon's Holiday Seasoning Spectacular.
The one-hour musical special will air immediately after 2024's Christmas in Rockefeller Center tree lighting. The Tonight Show Host will be joined by many of the special guests featured on his Holiday Seasoning album, which debuted November 1 via Republic Records.

Expect a selection of Holiday Seasoning tracks
Fallon broke down the track list to his new album during The Tonight Show's October 21 episode.
He described his "Holiday" bop with the Jonas Brothers as "a roller-disco jam," adding that it's one of his favorites on the release.
The Roots an Fallon's "Hey Rudy" is a tribute to everyone's favorite red-nosed reindeer, while he and Timberlake's "You'll Be There" is "a ukulele type of bromance song."
Yankovic's contribution is a New Year's Eve polka party — because Fallon rightfully pointed out that we're in dire need of a "peppy" December 31 ode among the typical "Auld Lang Syne" vibes.

His "Hallmark Movie" duet with Cara Delevingne may be among the most intriguing selections.
"We're in love. We're in a Hallmark movie. I work at a hardware store. She's out of my league, she's a princess," Fallon told The Tonight Show audience of the premise. "She's coming to the town to save my hardware store. And then, at the end of the song, she reaches for a knife, and I realize that we're not in a Hallmark movie — we're in a Lifetime movie. Same plot, just a little violence at the end."
Sounds like there's a dash of Jimmy Fallon's Tonightmares in this holiday seasoning mix. We can't wait to see Fallon and friends bring their songs to life on December 4, only on NBC and Peacock.
