A TENNESSEE FAMILY CHRISTMAS

An Annual Christmas Special

A Tennessee Family Christmas with Beth and Russell is an annual holiday tradition, bringing the magic of the season to viewers across Knoxville and Nashville. This heartwarming, one-hour Christmas TV special is a true labor of love, co-created and hosted by longtime broadcast partners Beth Haynes and Russell Biven.

​

More than just hosts, Beth and Russell take on every aspect of production—securing top-tier sponsorships, booking high-profile guests, scripting, producing, and even editing commercials and long-form stories. The special has featured exclusive interviews and festive moments with beloved figures like Dolly Parton and National Championship-winning Tennessee Head Baseball Coach Tony Vitello, along with a once-in-a-lifetime conversation with Tennessee astronaut Butch Wilmore live from the International Space Station. Musical performances from Emily Ann Roberts and Josh Lovelace of Needtobreathe, a reading of the Christmas story by a local pastor, a dazzling Tour of Lights, and a visit to Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas make this special a must-watch holiday tradition.
