She will be among the talented artists performing at NBC‘s annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center special, scheduled to air on December 4 at 8 PM ET on NBC and simulcast on Peacock.

Hosted by Emmy and Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson, the event will feature a star-studded lineup including EGOT winner Jennifer Hudson, the Backstreet Boys, Dan + Shay, Coco Jones, Little Big Town, RAYE, Thalia, and the Radio City Rockettes. NBC’s Today anchors Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Al Roker, and Craig Melvin will also participate in the tree lighting ceremony.

In addition to her appearance at the Rockefeller Center, Hilty is currently starring in the new Broadway musical Death Becomes Her, based on the film of the same name.
