John Legend and Chrissy Teigen will host 'A Legendary Christmas With John and Chrissy' for NBC

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are putting the happy back in the holidays this Christmas by co-hosting a holiday music special for NBC.

After the success of "Jesus Chris Superstar Live in Concert," which recently elevated multi-hyphenate Legend to rarefied EGOT status, NBC announced Wednesday that the beloved celebrity couple will be joined by family and friends for "A Legendary Christmas With John and Chrissy."

The hour-long special is set to air on Nov. 28 and will come on the heels of Legend's first Christmas album, "A Legendary Christmas," which drops Friday. That Columbia Records album, executive produced by Raphael Saadiq, features Stevie Wonder and Esperanza Spalding.

The special also coincides with Legend's 25-date holiday tour, which kicks off in Clearwater, Fla., on Nov. 15 and concludes in San Diego on Dec. 30.

No word yet on who will join the couple on TV, but here's hoping their young kiddos Luna and Miles make an appearance. Ever-pithy supermodel-turned-author Teigen will surely provide her brand of humor.

"What John has accomplished over his career is simply remarkable and we're thrilled to have both he and Chrissy host our holiday special," said Doug Vaughan, NBC's executive vice president of Special Programs and Late Night Programming. "It will be a truly memorable telecast filled with wonderful performances that will have something for everyone."

"A Legendary Christmas With John and Chrissy" will be produced by Universal Television, Done + Dusted and Friends at Work.
