Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square,” streaming now on Netflix.

Christine Baranski grew up watching “White Christmas” with her family when she was a little girl, and that is a tradition she has kept, now watching it year after year with her own grandchildren. But over those years she has also starred in quite a few holiday films, from the satirical “The Ref” to the modern classic adaptation of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” the holiday-themed sequel to “Bad Moms” and now the Netflix musical “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square.”

“It matters to me how they see me,” Baranski tells Variety about her grandchildren. But, she admits, when it came to deciding to sign onto “Christmas on the Square” she was not thinking about her grandchildren being able to watch the project with her. Instead, it was all about Parton.

Netflix wants you to have a very Dolly holiday — Dolly Parton that is.

The streamer dropped a trailer for its upcoming original holiday movie musical, “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square,” on Wednesday, featuring the legendary singer-songwriter’s vocals to get everyone in the mood for a small-town winter adventure.

“Christmas is a time for sharing, knowing you’ve been blessed,” Parton sings before being revealed on-screen in a glittery, glowing white ensemble.

“Who are you?” Christine Baranski’s character asks her. “What do you want from me?”

Parton replies that she’s “Angel” and she wants “change.” This is because Baranski’s character, the rich Regina Fuller, returns to her hometown after her father’s death to evict the townspeople and sell the land to a mall developer.

“The deadline to be out of your homes is now Christmas Eve,” Regina tells the citizens — while they are in church,...
