Three days before Christmas, CBS will air its touching “A Home For The Holidays With Idina Menzel” special.
Set to air at 9PM ET on December 22, the one-hour special will feature musical performances from Menzel, Adam Lambert, Ne-Yo and Kelly Rowland. In addition to those performances, the special will tell emotional, uplifting stories of families who adopted children from foster care. The goal, of course, is to raise awareness about the opportunity — and inspire others to offer life-changing support for children in search of permanent, loving homes.
The aforementioned artists recently filmed performances for the special; photos from the taping follow.
