The Songs In Dolly Parton's Christmas On The Square Are Full Of Xmas Cheer

In her 74 years on Earth, country music legend Dolly Parton has written over 3,000 songs. Combine her musical prowess with the ubiquitousness of the Netflix holiday movie and you get Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square, a new Christmas musical.

Christmas on the Square stars Christine Baranski as Regina Fuller, a wealthy yet cruel woman who returns to her small hometown after her father's death to evict the inhabitants and sell the land to a mall developer. (Yes in this universe, malls are still being built instead of closed down.) To top off her cruelty, she aims to kick them all out of their homes right before Christmas. Parton plays an angel heaven-bent on intervention and through her guidance, Regina listens to the townsfolk's stories, reconnects with an old flame, and starts to have a change of heart.

In addition to Baranski and Parton, the film also stars Jenifer Lewis, Treat Williams, and directed and is choreographed by three-time Emmy and Golden Globe winner Debbie Allen. The musical features 14 original songs written by Parton herself, with musical numbers arranged by Broadway’s Larry Blank. Though there are only 14 songs, they pop up again throughout the movie leading to a whopping 30 song tracklist. Here are all the songs in Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square, with minor plot spoilers along the way.
