Finally some good news in 2020: Dolly Parton will be releasing a Christmas album on October 2. Billboard reports A Holly Dolly Christmas is the country legend's first holiday album in 30 years and will feature duets with a variety of famous friends.

 

Parton will sing holiday tunes with Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus, Jimmy Fallon, and her brother, Randy Parton--and the first single will be a duet with Michael Bublé called "Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas."

 

Parton finished the album after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, so the duets were mostly recorded separately.

 

"We've been very smart, very careful, because we're trying to protect ourselves and I'm an older person," she said. "I'm not out to get it if I don’t [have] to, I'm hoping I can outrun all that.

 

We've been all very, very smart, but it didn't slow us up.”
