Dolly Parton is getting ahead of the Christmas crowd to announce that her 2020 Christmas album A Holly, Dolly Christmas is getting a boast with a deluxe version and some new songs added to the project.

Dolly posted to her social today (8/26), “It’s the most wonderful time of the year! A Holly Dolly Christmas Ultimate Deluxe is coming on October 14th, and to celebrate, I’m sharing my previously unreleased track, “A Smoky Mountain Christmas,” today! Go give it a listen and head to my story to pre-order now.”

One fan wrote, “This is amazing! What a blessing to have songs from A Smoky Mountain Christmas finally released!”

“A Smoky Mountain Christmas” was a song from Parton’s 1986 Christmas movie of the same name.

Dolly Parton’s Best Christmas Songs

  A new Christmas standard; it's a duet with Michael Bublé. The cartoon video is just as fun as the song.

  I just love this song and Dolly’s version brings me right into the manger.

  This musical just premiered on Netflix this month (2020). A wonderful movie and a wonderful song.

  Share

  Dolly’s version holds up nicely, and Burl Ives would surely be proud.

• 15. “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” – 1990

  Share

  Dolly’s 1990 Christmas album seemed to be aimed at children as a chorus of some of her siblings’ children sang along in the studio with “Aunt Granny,” a nickname her young family members use for Parton.
• 14. “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” – 1990

  Share

  Another great remake from her 'Home For Christmas' album.

  Share

  Parton’s tender version of this holiday classic.

• 12. “Once Upon a Christmas” – 1984

  Another original from 'Once Upon A Christmas' album.

• 10. “I Believe in Santa Claus” – 1984

  Share

  'Once Upon A Christmas' has sold millions of copies since its release, and this song is a big reason why. The album's release was accompanied by a CBS television special, Kenny & Dolly: A Christmas to Remember.

• 9. “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (with Jimmy Fallon) – 2020

  Share

  A song she tapped late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon to sing with her because he asked her to sing the Mariah Carey song on his show a year earlier and she didn’t know it. She knows it now.
• 8. “You Are My Christmas” (featuring Randy Parton) – 2020

  Share

  A beautiful song she sings with her brother Randy. Back in the 1970’s Randy was in his big sister’s band.

  Dolly wrote this for the 'Once Upon A Christmas' album.

  Duet with Kenny Rogers – This one makes me believe in Santa, and it'll probably do the same for you.

  A traditional classic Parton really dives into. I just love the Christmas morning church vibe it gives me.

  Share

  Duet with Kenny Rogers. Parton wrote this one too. It was the title of she and Kenny’s TV special in 1984.

  The first song she released to tease the new Christmas album back in October. I been listening to it since and it just makes you feel good in these weird times.

  Share

  First recorded for the 1982 movie 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.' It was later put on her 1984 duet album with Kenny Rogers. It’s been redone by many over the years including Reba in 2016.

• 1. “Christmas Without You” – 1984

  Share

  Not a Christmas has gone by since 1984 where I didn’t listen to and sing along with this song. I’ve played it on vinyl, cassette, CD and now on iTunes. It’s one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time and you know who wrote it? Yep, Dolly Parton!
