In a magical collision of Christmas spirit and the timeless legacy of Elvis Presley, NBC's all-star Christmas at Graceland special brought together a stellar lineup of musicians to celebrate the King of Rock 'n Roll on the occasion of its first live musical televised holiday special at Presley's iconic Memphis estate.

The star-studded event, aired from Lana Del Rey's Graceland residence, featured a diverse array of performances that ranged from soulful renditions of Elvis classics to spirited holiday cheer. Lana Del Rey, known for her trademark moody style, showcased her vocal prowess with a haunting rendition of "Unchained Melody," a song made famous by the Righteous Brothers in the '60s and later immortalized by Elvis in 1977.


Post Malone, in a more intimate setting by the poolside, delivered a heartfelt solo performance of Elvis' emotive 1968 hit "(You're The) Devil In Disguise." Kasey Musgraves, channeling Priscilla Presley, graced Graceland's front entrance with her rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love," a track from the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's 2022 Elvis biopic.

Adding a touch of punk rock flair, Alanis Morissette and her band performed "Last Christmas" in front of the Elvis jet, infusing the classic with a rebellious energy. Meanwhile, John Legend, seated at the piano, spread holiday joy with a rendition of "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)."

Christmas at Graceland wasn't just a musical extravaganza; it also featured never-before-broadcast footage of Elvis himself, providing fans with a unique glimpse into the legendary singer's life. Graceland, Presley's former residence turned museum since 1982, served as the perfect backdrop for this festive celebration, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to pay homage to the rock 'n roll icon.

The special, not only a tribute to Elvis but also a showcase of contemporary talent, included performances by other artists like Kane Brown, Lainey Wilson, and The War and Treaty. With its mix of nostalgia, holiday cheer, and outstanding musical talent, Christmas at Graceland delivered a memorable evening that honored the spirit of Elvis Presley and celebrated the magic of the season.
