Christmas and movies go together like George Bailey and Bedford Falls. And in this year's installment of A Hollywood Holiday, Lynne Warfel and Bill Morelock bring you a Santa sized sack of classic holiday soundtracks. From a singing Tom Hanks and two versions of "A Christmas Carol," to a mystery guest... who made his living in mysteries, reading a Christmas classic; A Hollywood Holiday is like sitting down by the fire with Bill and Lynne to enjoy the best holiday movie music. Tune in December 12 at 7:00 p.m. to listen.
