The hour-long holiday celebration was filmed at the historic Fellowship Chicago church in the Windy City with an all-star musical lineup. The exhilarating concert boasts magical performances by platinum-duo Mary Mary's Erica Campbell singing "Come Let Us Adore Him" and Grammy Award nominated singer Brian Courtney Wilson reinventing Donny Hathaway's classic "This Christmas." Deitrick Haddon delivers a passionate take on Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song." Jonathan McReynolds does a resplendent acoustic cover of "Mary Don't You Weep" while gospel legend Dorinda Clark Cole sings "Away in a Manger" to a circle of children. The show also features appearances by Tasha Page Lockhart, Isaac Carree, Donishia Ballard, and Dexter Walker & Zion Movement. The shepherd for the 8,000-member Fellowship Chicago, Jenkins burst onto the national stage when his global worship anthem "Awesome" topped Billboard Magazine's Hot Gospel Songs chart for 22 weeks in 2012. His foot-stomper "War" spent five weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart and was cited by the magazine as the most played gospel song of 2015. Jenkins currently has a Top Ten hit with "Winning" and his tune "Christmas Music" just made its Hot Gospel Songs chart debut at No. 21.
