If you've so far struggled to get into the festive spirit, then Byron Allen Presents: A Merry Soulful Christmas might just be the singalong special to get you in the mood. While he's been linked with snapping up rival network ABC, billionaire TV mogul Allen will be the host with the festive most on CBS this Saturday for a musical tribute to Christmases past and present.

According to CBS, the two-hour special is set to provide "a perfect opportunity to gather the family, relax, and immerse in the magic of the holiday season through the power of music."
While CBS are keeping a tight lip on just who those music icons are that are set to feature on the show, Allen's standing in the industry suggests we'll be getting some big names belting out soulful renditions of Christmas classics.
