The show will run Dec. 6-12. It features traditional carols, plus some Christmas Carol spoofs, including: "Here We Come A-Waffel-ing," and "The Holly and Ivory."
The scene is set for a Christmas concert as everybody's favorite nuns warm up for their first television special. The program, which the audience will witness, is done with lots of love, reverence and good Christmas spirit.
