VH1 Is A Winter Wonderland With A Slate of All-New Specials This Holiday Season

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- From Thanksgiving to Christmas to Hanukkah, VH1 will debut all-new specials this upcoming Holiday season.

"I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS" - PREMIERES NOVEMBER 20 at 8 PM*

Break out the Halloween costumes, deck the halls, and light that Menorah because it's time to get into the festive mood with "I Love The Holidays." VH1 is reprising its highly successful "I Love The" series with its latest installment of "I Love the Holidays." All the wit, humor, pensive reflection and poetic waxing you can take from our newest batch of comics, rock stars, actors, and celebrities as they take a stab at Halloween, Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Christmas and New Years. This 90 minute special covers it all from the Great Pumpkin to Thanksgiving leftovers to spinning dreidels and New Year's resolutions. VH1 will welcome you to the holidays.

"A VERY CLASSIC THANKSGIVING" - PREMIERES ON VH1 CLASSIC NOVEMBER 24 at 7 PM* -- "FIRST COURSE" AIRS ON VSPOT SEVEN DAYS EARLIER

VH1 Classic is serving up its annual "A Very Classic Thanksgiving" special on multiple platforms this year including dishing out the "first course" on Vspot, VH1's broadband entertainment channel (http://vspot.vh1.com/) seven days before the special bows on VH1 Classic. "A Very Classic Thanksgiving" invites some of the most accomplished names in music to the VH1 Classic family table for a four-course, holiday dinner set to premiere on Thanksgiving Day, November 24 at 7 PM.* DEE SNIDER (Twisted Sister) hosts this year's gathering which includes CLARENCE CLEMONS (The E Street Band), PATTY SMYTH (Scandal), WONDER MIKE (Sugar Hill Gang) and CHRIS BARRON (Spin Doctors).

"SOUL TRAIN CHRISTMAS SPECIAL" - PREMIERES DECEMBER 17 at 8PM*

VH1 got soooooul this Christmas. Hosted by Wayne Brady, Eric Benet and Tiffany Evans the "Soul Train Christmas Special" will showcase today's R&B chart toppers singing your favorite holiday hits.

"ALL ACCESS PRESENTS: SO JEWTASTIC!" - PREMIERES DECEMBER 19 at 9 PM*

In an age when Madonna demands to be called "Esther," Jon Stewart is a sex symbol and seemingly everyone speaks a little Yiddish, it's never been hipper to be a Jew. "So Jewtastic" celebrates everything you knew -- and lots of stuff you didn't about being Jewish. The show will answer questions like: Why is it hip to be a Jew? (the trendy rise of Kabbalah,) Are Jews crunk? (the marriage of Jews and hip hop) and what's the deal with Jewish stereotypes (Money, Sex and Sports)? Elon Gold will test the "Jew clues" of America (asking questions like why does a bagel have a hole?) and Jackie Mason will give several classic lessons in "Yiddish 101." Thanks to a mensch laden panel of pundits, yentas and moils, "So Jewtastic" will also circumcise the old ideas about Jewish mothers, de-Jewing your name and figure out once and for all why Jews are so funny. So put down that gefilte fish and pop open some Manichewitz, being Jewish has never been "So Jewtastic!"
