To say that Brian Stokes Mitchell is an all round nice guy and Broadway legend is an understatement! The actor, singer and performer reunites with the Tabernacle to give us a gorgeous Christmas Special that will warm your heart and fill you with holiday joy.

A Beloved Christmas Tradition is Back and Celebrating a Milestone… 20 Years of Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir is a treasured event that can’t be missed. Mitchell serves as narrator and guest artist on the special.

Intimate ballads, behind-the-scenes views and storytelling by Stokes combine with highlights from the past two decades featuring soul-stirring performances from more than 40 world-renowned artists, including Kristin Chenoweth, Audra McDonald, Kelli O’Hara, Gladys Knight, Angela Lansbury, the Muppets® from Sesame Street®, Hugh Bonneville and Richard Thomas. The anniversary special reminds viewers of how this tradition has touched audiences for years and evokes the love, unity and peace of the season.
