Neal McDonough talks "O Holy Night: Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir"

Experience the Wonder of Christmas with the Beloved Holiday Experience, O Holy Night: Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir featuring actor Neal McDonough as the Narrator of the 19th annual broadcast of this unique, soulful holiday program.

This December, PBS and inspirational family entertainment network BYUtv will air and stream “O Holy Night: Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir” featuring Tony® Award-nominated Broadway star Megan Hilty (“Smash,” “Wicked”) and renowned film and television actor Neal McDonough (“Band of Brothers,” “Captain America: The First Avenger”). This marks the 19th annual “Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir” television special, which has been the No. 1 primetime holiday program on PBS for 17 years since it first aired in 2004. 

In this year’s “Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir” special, Hilty joins the Choir, Orchestra, trumpeters and bell ringers in performing well-known holiday tunes, classic Christmas carols and hymns. Traditional Irish musical numbers and elements weave throughout the program in honor of Hilty’s and McDonough’s shared heritage. As narrator of the evening, McDonough reflects on the role that family, heritage and traditions play at this time of year. With music and musings combined, and unique Irish cultural nods, the result is a deeply personal and uplifting program that inspires hope and welcomes the spirit of the holiday season. 

A multi-talented and award-winning actor, Neal McDonough has been seen in over 100 films, including “Captain America: The First Avenger,” “Forever Strong” and “Greater.” He has starred in nearly one thousand hours of major television dramas ranging from “Band of Brothers” to “Suits” and “9-1-1: Lone Star.”
