1) “Christmas With the Tabernacle Choir,” 9 p.m., PBS. Each year, this offers music on a massive scale – a 360-voice choir plus more than 200 musicians and bell-ringers, inside a packed, 21,000-seat hall. And this year, that revolves around one tiny soul: Kristin Chenoweth, all 4-foot-11 of her, jokes, dances (shown here), rings a big bell, reads part of “The Gift of the Magi” and, of course, sings beautifully.

1) “Kennedy Center Honors,” 8:30-10:30 p.m most time zones, but 8-10 p.m. PT., CBS. This is an annual gem, filled with great music and smart little films and tributes. And now it’s more pop than ever. Two great singers, Trisha Yearwood and Carrie Underwood, tackle Linda Ronstadt songs. John Legend, Ne-Yo, Cynthia Erivo and the Jonas Brothers all do the music of Earth, Wind & Fire. There’s classical music (honoring Michael Tilson Thomas), a Sally Field tribute … and even a “Sesame Street” tribute (shown here), with music from Thomas Rhett. Read more…

1) “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Frosty the Snowman,” 8 and 9 p.m., CBS. These two classics (from 1964 and ‘69) have already had separate runs on CBS this season. Now we can catch them together … with the vastly inferior “Frosty Returns” at 9:30. If you need them again, “Rudolph” and “Frosty” (shown here) will be back-to-back on cable’s Freeform on Dec. 20, 21, 24 and 25. Read more…

1) “Gone With the Wind”(1939), 8 p.m. to midnight ET, Turner Classic Movies. We can start the weekend with a true classic (shown here), No. 6 on the American Film Institute’s all-time list. A documentary about the making of the film follows at midnight; the booming “Music Man” (1962) precedes at 5:15. Read more…

1) “The Great American Baking Show: Holiday Edition” opener, 9 and 10 p.m., ABC. It’s a double-spice show, with Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton (shown here) and Anthony “Spice” Adams hosting. Paul Hollywood (from the British original) and Sherry Yard are the judges. This starts with 10 contestants, including Brother Andrew Corriende, who briefly managed a bakery and worked as a talent-agent assistant, before becoming a friar. They’ll face three challenges each hour, starting today with cakes and bread Read more…
