Ruthie Ann Miles and Dennis Haysbert are the latest in an eclectic list of esteemed individuals from stage and screen to participate in Hope of the Season: Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir. The Tony Award-winner and acclaimed actor performed during the annual tradition, now in its 22nd year. They join the likes of past collaborators Kristin Chenoweth, Gladys Knight, Walter Cronkite, Jane Seymour, Audra McDonald, and even The Muppets

The special, airing throughout the holidays via PBS and BYUtv, was filmed last year at the 21,000 seat Conference Center at Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. Miles and Haysbert showcased their respective talents alongside the cast of 500 volunteers. Miles, known for The King & I and All Rise, sings a medley of holiday classics with the Choir, including the hymns “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” The star also brings “Spirit of the Season” and “Believe” from “The Polar Express” to life.
