NBC will have a “Blue Christmas” later this month with the Christmas At Graceland TV special. Performing from Elvis Presley‘s iconic Memphis, TN home, a cast of A-list pop stars including Post Malone, Lana Del Rey, Alanis Morissette, and more will pay tribute to The King.
Set to air November 29th at 10 p.m. ET and stream on Peacock, Christmas At Graceland will also feature John Legend, Kacey Musgraves, Kane Brown, Lainey Wilson, and The War And Treaty. The broadcast will mark the first-ever televised concert from inside Graceland.
By bringing some of today’s top artists into the hallowed Memphis estate, Christmas At Graceland will highlight Presley’s lasting impact on popular music. The special will also include previously unaired footage of Elvis and give viewers “an intimate look” inside his home.

Elvis’ granddaughter Riley Keough, currently starring in Amazon Prime‘s rock drama series Daisy Jones & The Six, will make an appearance and executive produce the special through her production company Felix Culpa. Keough and her two siblings inherited Graceland earlier this year after her mother Lisa Marie Presley‘s untimely death from cardiac arrest at age 54.
Many of the artists on the bill have previously publicized their admiration for Elvis. Alanis Morissette performed at a tribute concert for Presley’s only daughter Lisa Marie; Kacey Musgraves last year issued a cover of “Can’t Help Falling In Love”; John Legend and Post Malone performed in NBC’s 2019 Elvis All-Star Tribute; and in 2018 Lana Del Rey contributed a previously unreleased original song to Eugene Jarecki‘s Elvis documentary The King.
The special also comes at a time of renewed interest in Elvis Presley and his legacy. The 2022 biopic Elvis was a major summer blockbuster, followed this year by Sofia Coppola‘s Priscilla, a film adaptation of Priscilla Presley‘s 1985 memoir Elvis and Me, now in select theaters.
