A rich and nasty woman, Regina Fuller, returns to her small hometown after her father's death to evict everyone and sell the land to a mall developer - right before Christmas. However, after listening to stories of the local townsfolk, reconnecting with an old love, and accepting the guidance of an actual angel, Regina starts to have a change of heart. This is the story about family, love, and how a small town's Christmas spirit can warm even the coldest of hearts. Starring Dolly Parton, Christine Baranski, Jenifer Lewis, Treat Williams, and directed and choreographed by three-time Emmy and Golden Globe winner Debbie Allen. Featuring 14 original songs with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton.

Dolly Parton's Christmas on THE SQUARE is produced by Magnolia Hill Productions and Sandollar Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television for Netflix. Executive Producers include Sam Haskell, writer Maria Schlatter, Debbie Allen, and Dolly Parton.

Nine-time Grammy winner Dolly Parton will play "ANGEL."

A funny, strong, loving and "in charge" Angel, made of blonde hair, white chiffon, light, and love. Angel enters Regina Fuller's life to help her find forgiveness, the truth and ultimately happiness.

Parton is the composer and lyricist for "9 to 5," the Broadway musical based on her 1980 film of the same name.

Christine Baranski (The Good Fight; Mamma Mia!) will play "REGINA FULLER."

A force of nature and owner of the town of Fullerville, where the story's set. Regina's an embittered scrooge, who is shown by Angel, the truth of her past, which leads her on a path to redemption.

Baranski's Broadway credits include "Boeing-Boeing," "Short Talks on the Universe," "Nick & Nora," "Rumors," "Hurlyburly," "The Real Thing," and more. She is well-known to audiences as Tanya from the film adaptation of "Mamma Mia!" and its sequel, "Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!"
