A Very Barry Christmas: Preview Tonight's Barry Manilow, NBC Special

Check out Barry Manilow performing two holiday classics, discussing his NBC special, and more in our preview of "A Very Barry Christmas."

With only hours to go until NBC's Barry Manilow's A Very Barry Christmas graces our screens with a whole lot of musical goodness for our stockings, we wanted to pass along a preview of what you can expect from Barry Manilow and his 24-piece band later tonight. Of course, you can expect a musical lineup that includes greatest hits such as "Copacabana," "Mandy," "I Write the Songs," and "Looks Like We Made It." But this is a holiday special, people! That means we can also expect favorites such as "Jingle Bells," "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer," "Feliz Navidad," and "White Christmas." And we have in on good authority that Manilow was able to pull some strings to get a certain jolly, red-suited fellow to make an appearance since. What follows is a look at the image gallery that was released, Manilow performing two beloved holiday classics, and the iconic singer & performer opening up about what the special means to him – and so much more!

To help get you back in the spirit, NBC released a preview clip of Barry Manilow performing "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" and "My Favorite Things" – check out the performances below:

He was recently honored at Carnegie Hall by The New York Pops, with the composer & performer recently completing a sold-out run at Radio City Music Hall and his second musical, Harmony, opening on Broadway.
