Let's face it: When the holidays roll around, TV is arguably one of the most
delightful parts of the season. Whether it's a musical performance delivered

Christmas Tree lighting up for the first time, there are so many reasons to tune
in to NBC during the holidays. And in 2023, you can expect several exciting new
additions alongside the classic favorites.

NBC's 2023 holiday programming includes cherished holiday films and energizing
musical performances, as well as delightful comfort watches like The National
Dog Show. Plus, the holiday episodes of NBC series like One Chicago and Law &
Order are always a special treat, as fan-favorite characters celebrate the
reason for the season.
