A Holly Dolly Christmas is available now worldwide for digital pre-add/pre-save/preorder, exclusive pre-order bundles, and physical pre-order.

Pre-Save the album on Spotify, Deezer or Apple Music at https://bit.ly/AHDCPreSave.

The first single will be her duet with Bublé, "Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas."

“I am so excited to announce my new Christmas album ‘A Holly Dolly Christmas.’ I have recorded several Christmas classics like "Holly Jolly Christmas", as well as some new material that I hope might become Christmas classics. I've recorded 5 duets with 5 very special artists as you can see,” states Dolly.

“I figured since everybody probably wouldn't get to celebrate Christmas as usual this year, I wanted to be creative instead of sitting around at the house this summer. So I put on my mask, gloves and practiced social distancing, as well as all of the wonderful musicians and singers, and we proceeded to put together what I think is some of the best work that I've ever done. Kent Wells produced the album. As you know, Kent has been my friend, band leader and producer for many years. He's outdone himself on this one. I'm just hoping that you're gonna love it as much as we loved putting it together, says Dolly.

Recently, Dolly also announced her partnership with Chronicle Books to release Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics. The visual memoir and annotated songbook will give an intimate look at Dolly's enduring career as a songwriter, musician, and Country legend.

Fans will have access to the stories behind the lyrics in Dolly's own words with never-before-seen photographs and memorabilia, bringing them closer to her work than ever before. Also, Recorded Books audiobook form and CD of Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics will be available on Nov. 17 and is currently available for preorder on Amazon.
