Jimmy Fallon is turning New York into a snow globe of music and comedy with “Jimmy Fallon’s Holiday Seasoning Spectacular,” a star-packed celebration inspired by his festive album “Holiday Seasoning.” The one-hour special airs tonight – Thursday, Dec. 11 – at 10 p.m. Eastern on NBC, making it a can’t-miss primetime treat for those wanting their holidays served with both heart and humor.
Tonight’s special is available to watch live for free on DIRECTV or to stream tomorrow on Peacock TV.
Check out details on everything you need to know about the “Holiday Seasoning Spectacular,” including how to watch it live without cable (along with what to do if you’re a Fubo customer affected by NBC’s current carriage dispute).
How to watch “Jimmy Fallon’s Holiday Seasoning Spectacular” for free
Don’t have cable TV? There are still ways to watch tonight, even if you have also been affected by Fubo’s ongoing dispute with NBCUniversal. Since the dispute began in November, all NBC-owned channels (along with local NBC affiliates) have become unavailable to Fubo users.
However, you can still watch the Jimmy Fallon special for free on DIRECTV using its 5-day free trial promotion.
DIRECTV also takes $40 off your first month if you choose to remain after the introductory period ends.
Tonight’s special can also be watched on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s official streaming platform. Peacock does not include a free trial but allows viewers to watch on demand.
What the special is about
The special follows Fallon on a whimsical hunt for the holiday spirit through a surreal NYC apartment building, where each door opens to a new musical performance or cameo from his famous friends. It’s structured like a pop-up advent calendar of sketches, duets and original songs pulled from Fallon’s “Holiday Seasoning” album. Expect big personalities, playful storytelling and the kind of joyful, slightly unhinged variety-show energy that Fallon brings when he’s let loose in primetime.
The all-star lineup
NBC and prior coverage of the special highlight a stacked roster of guests, including Dolly Parton, Justin Timberlake, Meghan Trainor, Jonas Brothers, LL COOL J, Cara Delevingne, “Weird Al” Yankovic, The Roots, J.B. Smoove and more — plus a finale from the Top of Rockefeller Center with the Radio City Rockettes.
