American Idol season four winner – and now Country Music superstar - Carrie Underwood is starring in her first holiday special.

Underwood promises Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special will be different than her concerts; top heavy with laughs, music and, as the title suggests, loaded with celebrity guests.

Underwood is no stranger to lavish productions after American Idol and having hosted the Country Music Awards two years running. But, her own special was far more involved than even she could have imagined.
