The Paley Center for Media is giving viewers a glimpse of the magic behind Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey.
Producer and Grammy award winning John Legend will participate in “Making Holiday Magic!

The holiday themed fantasy musical has become an instant classic by bringing holiday cheers to households around the world on Netflix. Its story follows a toymaker in a rut who is inspired to reconnect with his work by the arrival of his young and inquisitive granddaughter.
