Saturday at 8 p.m. on HALL
Christina (Danica McKellar),
manager of a flagship depart-
ment store, hopes to land a
similar position at the chain’s
new Paris location by bowling
her boss (Deidre Hall) over
with the best holiday display
ever. There’s just one problem:
Christina is fresh out of ideas.
Luckily, she gets help from Kurt
(David Haydn-Jones), a tal-
ented artist who recently lost his
job. As they collaborate, their
business relationship takes a
personal turn in this new 2016
yuletide romance.

KGW, KOBI
For those who just can’t wait
until the next morning — and
there are likely to be many
of those folks — this preview
hour presents glimpses of the
New York parade route, the
floats and (quite importantly)
the character balloons that will
draw spectators to televisions, if
not to the actual streets covered
by the extravaganza on the hol-
iday. The program also includes
highlights of past editions of the
parade, with clips of entertain-
ers who have performed in it.
