bestbets SUNDAY 10 a.m. on ABC The Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration Siblings — and “Dancing With the Stars” veterans — Julianne and Derek Hough have made the Disney theme parks in Florida and California pretty much their bases of operation this holiday season, and that continues with the traditional Christmas-morning event showcasing seasonal fun at the sites. Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, spouses Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, and Disney Channel star Sofia
Julianne Hough
Carson (“Descendants”) are among others on board here.
icon Al Pacino, veteran singersongwriter James Taylor, gospel-and-blues legend Mavis Staples and pianist Martha Argerich.
MONDAY 8 p.m. on ABC Happy New Year, Charlie Brown Good grief! Who assigns elementary-school children “War and Peace”? Charlie Brown’s teacher, that’s who. He has to read it over the Christmas break and write a report, but holiday distractions keep getting in the way. He ends up leaving a New Year’s party and sitting outside to read, but that doesn’t end well. Chad Allen (“Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman”) provides the voice of Charlie Brown in this 1986 “Peanuts” special. 10:30 p.m. on PBS Vicious A “Holiday Special” finds bickering couple Freddie and Stuart (Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi) throwing a Christmas Day celebration for their friends in their crowded little flat. Thankfully, they’re getting help from neighbor Ash (Iwan Rheon, “Game of Thrones”), who has volunteered to prepare the food, but you can bet Violet (Frances de
Sarah Hyland la Tour) will try to stir things up with the handsome chef. Elsewhere, a wicked game of Truth or Dare brings up some shocking truths.
TUESDAY 9 p.m. on CBS The 39th Annual Kennedy Center Honors This year’s ceremony for performing-arts titans is tinged with sadness, since the Eagles tribute had been delayed by the illness of member Glenn Frey, who since has passed. The band’s surviving musicians are saluted at the title Washington, D.C., site as are acting
seeing it as a means to get him out of the picture. Jimmy (John Ross Bowie) doesn’t want Dylan (Kyla Kenedy) to be so accommodating to others.
WEDNESDAY
FRIDAY
9 p.m. on ABC Modern Family Martin Short guest stars in “Blindsided” as a veteran marketer who conveys his professional theories to promotions novice Haley (Sarah Hyland). Luke and Manny’s (Nolan Gould, Rico Rodriguez) competition to become senior-class president prompts a rivalry between their families. Cam (Eric Stonestreet) takes action to ensure that his star football player won’t have to leave the area.
8 p.m. on CW iHeartRadio Music Festival — Night One This gathering of music acts, first shown in October and concluding the following Monday, sees many veteran artists perform at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena as one of iHeartRadio’s top “properties,” Ryan Seacrest, serves as host (in what was his first major television venture after “American Idol” ended).
THURSDAY 9:30 p.m. on ABC Speechless JJ’s (Micah Fowler) new taste of independence, enabled by Kenneth (Cedric Yarbrough) becoming his full-time helper, worries Maya (Minnie Driver) in this episode. When JJ misses an appointment, Maya quickly lays the blame on Kenneth —
leans for the first time, there’s plenty of entertainment to fill the primetime portion. Mariah Carey, DNCE, Thomas Rhett, Gloria Estefan and Jenny McCarthy join Seacrest on location, while Fergie again hosts the Hollywood segments. 11 p.m. on FOX Pitbull’s New Year’s Revolution The music star stages another bash in Miami’s Bayfront Park to mark the end of one year and the start of another, with Queen Latifah — who’s returning to Fox series work in “Star” — and Snoop Dogg joining him to host the show.
SATURDAY 8 p.m. on ABC Dick Clark’s Primetime New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2017 Simply put, it wouldn’t be Dec. 31 without this. “American Idol” alum Seacrest is back in New York’s Times Square for the descent of the illuminated globe — but before that magic moment arrives at midnight, also to be shown from New Or-
