Dolly Parton is making sure Christmas comes early this year. The legendary country music artist announced on her social media channels on Friday morning (August 26) that her upcoming holiday deluxe album is set to release in October. But until then, Parton is releasing one of the tracks, “A Smoky Mountain Christmas,” now.
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year! A Holly Dolly Christmas Ultimate Deluxe is coming October 14th, and to celebrate, I’m sharing my previously unreleased track ‘A Smoky Mountain Christmas’ today!” Parton announced on Friday. “Go give it a listen and head to my story to pre-order now. 🎄♥️”
“I’m dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas / With the kids around the fireplace / Stringing popcorn for the tree / I’m dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas / With nothing much that money buys / But everything worthwhile in life / Dreamin’ of a Smoky Mountain Christmas”
Parton has previously released holiday classics like “Holly Jolly Christmas,” “Mary, Did You Know?,” “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” and more. Her previously-released A Holly Dolly Christmas collection also included a few collaborations, like “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” featuring Jimmy Fallon and “Christmas Is,” featuring Miley Cyrus, among others.
