The special, Christmas at Graceland, is set to air live on Wednesday, November 29 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and simulcast on Peacock.

The tribute to Elvis was filmed inside the Graceland estate. A press release says, "Through these spectacular performances, viewers will be invited to witness firsthand the legacy and spirit of this treasured family home." The artists will also offer viewers an intimate look inside Graceland. They'll also convey how Elvis inspired them through his love of Christmas, music, and song.

Elvis Presley's granddaughter Riley Keough (Emmy Award nominee, Daisy Jones & the Six) will make special appearances and serve as an executive producer.

Christmas at Graceland is the first televised concert from the estate and will feature never-before broadcast footage of Elvis.

Christmas at Graceland will air immediately following NBC's presentation of Christmas in Rockefeller Center on November 29 (8-10 p.m. ET/PT).

Kane Brown recently released a a cover of Elvis Presley's classic "Blue Christmas." Elvis' voice starts off the familiar song, and Kane's voice comes in on the second verse.

Brown told us of the new cover, "I chose to cover 'Blue Christmas' because it was probably one of my favorite Christmas songs. I don't have a lot. I used to sing it all the time whenever I was first coming up in the music scene, just while I was warming up and just playing around on stage, so when I got asked to do a Christmas song, of course, I'd have picked that one. And to reimagine it with Elvis is amazing."

He added, "I heard it for the first time the other day, so just to hear me and Elvis on the same song is crazy. "

Elvis Presley is one of the biggest, most celebrated icons of the music world.

He had everything: Talent, charisma and looks to spare. Even looking back at the earliest performances of his career will make you feel all tingly. Some people just have that magical "It" factor, and Elvis certainly had that, too.

"The King" remains one of the best-selling artists in music history selling about 400 million records worldwide. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), 139 million of those records were sold in the United States. The only other artists to out-sell him in the United States are Garth Brook and The Beatles, who've sold 157 million and 183 million records, respectively.

The influence of Elvis is an incredible ripple effect. Notably, he was a massive influence on The Beatles. Paul McCartney is notably quoted saying, "When we were kids growing up in Liverpool, all we ever wanted to be was Elvis Presley." John Lennon concurred and was quoted saying, "Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis, there would be no Beatles."

Even contemporaries recognized the magic of Elvis. Little Richard once said, "Elvis was God-given, there’s no other explanation. A Messiah comes around every few thousand years, and Elvis was it this time."

To celebrate his life and career, check out the videos below. Long live "The King."

Out of all the musical performances from Elvis’ film career, this is probably the best one. There weren't any special effects, but there sure was a lot of electricity. Over six decades later, this clip still holds up.

Honestly, watching some of these women swoon will kind of make you do the same. It's nothing short of hilarious to hear these seniors recall what their parents thought of Elvis. It's funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Satellite technology was still pretty new when Aloha From Hawaii premiered in 1973. It was definitely a sign of the future. An estimated 1-1.5 billion people tuned in to see Elvis in that infamous white jumpsuit.

Seriously, the entire “’68 Comeback Special” is gold. It’s hard to pick a favorite performance, but this rendition of “One Night” is rather amazing. Never forget that "The King" could sing. What a voice!

Graceland hosts a beautiful candlelight vigil during "Elvis Week" to honor the anniversary of Presley's passing. The event has been livestreamed for years. You can see a clip from this year's vigil below.

Speaking of Graceland, “The Guest House,” an Elvis resort in Memphis, opened in 2016. Honestly, we’ve now added it to our “Bucket List.” Check out a tour of the hotel below. It's simply stunning!
