Carrie Underwood is heading to the small screen — FOX has given the star her own two-hour variety special.

The special, which will air December 7, will see the fourth American Idol winner perform material from her upcoming album Play On, plus earlier hits and holiday songs.

Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley and fellow Idol David Cook will also appear on the show — which has been tentatively titled Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The two-hour special airs Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.

Underwood — who ended her romance with Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford in April last year — recently revealed that being famous has destroyed her love life.

“You never really know why somebody wants to be around you or if they do genuinely like you,” she said.

“I wish everyone had a label on their forehead so you could automatically tell their intentions. Sometimes you just wish that no one wanted anything from you.”
