Los Angeles (December 1, 2020) – AXS TV gives viewers the gift of great music this holiday season, presenting a star-studded roster fueled with festive favorites, unforgettable live performances, hit-packed specials and more, airing throughout the month. The celebration begins on December 12 with a star-studded Saturday Stack lineup headlined by the premiere of Nothing But Videos: Holiday Special at 4pE/1pP, featuring a block of Yuletide-themed hits such as Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me,” Taylor Swift’s “Christmas Tree Farm,” Justin Bieber’s “Mistletoe,” Michael Bublé’s “White Christmas,” Katy Perry’s “Cozy Little Christmas,” and Pentatonix’s “Hallelujah,” among others.
The festivities continue with the “Saturday Stack: Holiday Concert Marathon” at 5pE, featuring Twisted Sister’s Sin City spectacle A Twisted Christmas: Live In Vegas, boasting wicked renditions of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” “Heavy Metal Christmas,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” and more. Next, country icon Faith Hill takes the stage with a 31-piece orchestra and a big band to perform Christmas classics such as “Silent Night” and “O Come All Ye Faithful” in Faith Hill—Joy To The World at 6pE; followed by Heart & Friends: Home For The Holidays at 7pE, capturing the rock trailblazers in a lively hometown show full of unconventional Christmas hits and appearances by Sammy Hagar, Shawn Colvin, Pat Monahan, and Richard Marx; and Rod Stewart: Merry Christmas, Baby at 8pE, as famous friends Michael Bublé, CeeLo Green, and Mary J. Blige join the chart-topping crooner on standards such as “We Three Kings,” “Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
