PROVO, Utah, Nov. 4, 2021 -- Family entertainment network BYUtv, available nationally over cable, satellite and free streaming, and its companion network, BYUradio, today announced their 2021 schedule of original holiday programming, including "Christmas Under the Stars" with three-time Grammy(R) Award-winning and multi-platinum selling artist Pentatonix; a special two-hour retrospective, "20 Years of Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir," filled with more than 40 beloved guest artists, from Gladys Knight and Angela Lansbury to Kristin Chenoweth and Richard Thomas; a "Grace Notes" holiday special featuring Grammy(R) winners Amy Grant, Michelle T. Williams, Michael W. Smith, CeCe Winans, Kirk Franklin and other Christian music favorites; new Christmas episodes of BYUtv's original series "The Canterville Ghost," "Studio C" and "Random Acts"; and many more holiday movies and specials.

Sunday, Nov. 14 and 21 at 9 p.m. ET: BYUtv's four-part contemporary reimagining of the classic Oscar Wilde comedy "The Canterville Ghost," produced in the U.K. by BBC Studios Productions, revolves around three families - the aristocratic Cantervilles, the Romani Lovells and the American Otises - who must come together to find redemption and heal the past. In the final two episodes of the limited series, "Autumn" (premiering Nov. 14) and "Winter" (premiering Nov. 21), the Otises host a Christmas ball, which becomes the centerpiece of the climactic finale. The accomplished cast includes Anthony Head ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), James Lance ("Ted Lasso"), Caroline Catz ("Doc Martin"), Laurel Waghorn ("Holby City"), Carolyn Pickles ("Broadchurch"), Haydn Gwynne ("The Windsors") and Jack Bardoe ("Belgravia"), among others.

Monday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. ET: Tucked in and snuggly in their bed, the cast of fan-favorite sketch comedy show "Studio C" (now in its 14th season) listens to their favorite Christmas tales, such as the one where Scrooge discovers that Christmas feasts must be purchased in advance and the one where an entrepreneuring father pitches his idea for simplifying gift wrapping. They then hear the tales of Giuseppe, an Italian elf, who keeps accidentally making his mother's Italian food instead of toys, workers who pooled their resources to buy a co-worker a gift that drives home the Christmas spirit, and the most beloved tale of all - the one where The Grinch and Nicholas Cage unexpectedly run into each other on Christmas Eve. Charles Dickens' fictional brother Bartholomew hosts.

Wednesday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. ET: "Random Acts" is the unscripted hidden-camera reality show in its seventh season that highlights the altruistic nature of human beings by featuring real people who are the recipients of random acts of kindness. In this special episode, a young family that unfortunately missed out on their first Christmas in their new Nashville condo in 2020 due to the tragic Christmas morning bombing, receives a Christmas they won't ever forget. In late spring of this year, "Random Acts" decorates the family's new home in Christmas lights and lawn decor, setting in motion an adventure that ends in chasing snow, finding a blizzard, and a special visitor.

Sunday, Dec. 5 at 12 p.m. ET: "Grace Notes" is an unscripted series, hosted by Elaine Bradley from Neon Trees, featuring performances and interviews with artists who are uplifted and changed by music. We hear the stories behind the songs as musicians share their talent, their lives, their inspiration and their faith. This special holiday episode will feature songs such as "Breath of Heaven," "O Holy Night," "Welcome to Our World" and "We Three Kings," performed by Amy Grant, Michelle T. Williams, Michael W. Smith, CeCe Winans, Kirk Franklin, Ben Rector, Lecrae, Natalie Grant, Colton Dixon, Ellie Holcomb, Jamie Grace, Unspoken, Kierra Sheard, Michael McLean, Jonathan Traylor, Sidewalk Prophets, Francesca Battistelli, Jonathan McReynolds and Jordan Smith.

Sunday, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. ET: An annual BYUtv holiday tradition, "Christmas Under the Stars" showcases Grammy Award-winning group Pentatonix in a mix of big performance numbers and intimate, cinematic musical moments.

Thursday, Dec. 16 at 9 p.m. ET: This December, The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square's beloved annual Christmas concert tradition celebrates its 20th anniversary with a special new two-hour retrospective. "20 Years of Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir" welcomes Tony(R) Award-winner Brian Stokes Mitchell as guest artist and narrator.
