CELEBRATING EXTRAORDINARY LEGACY OF DOLLY PARTON: BELOVED TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS RETURN IN SPECIAL HOLIDAY COLLECTION

Announced officially today in recognition of World Kindness Day as a tribute to Dolly’s enduring legacy of compassion, generosity and love.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A 44-year friendship between Dolly Parton and executive producer Sam Haskell inspired a remarkable creative collaboration—and television stories that continue to celebrate kindness, family, faith and love.

In recognition of World Kindness Day, a special holiday DVD collection from Warner Bros. Global Home Entertainment celebrates the extraordinary legacy of Dolly Parton and the compassion that shaped both her life and her storytelling. This special edition of DVDs is the largest curation of Dolly Parton on film. The announcement is intentionally timed to a day devoted to kindness, a quality that those closest to Dolly, including her longtime friend and creative collaborator Sam Haskell, admire.

“Dolly had a way of making every person feel important. The kindness people saw in her work was the kindness she lived every day. I am grateful we had the opportunity to tell stories together that reflect her love of family, her faith, and her belief in the goodness of others. Sharing these productions on World Kindness Day is a meaningful way to honor that part of her legacy and pass it on to another generation.” — Sam Haskell, Executive Producer, Magnolia Hill Productions.

The collaboration celebrating Dolly Parton’s legacy on World Kindness Day pays tribute to a quality that defined Dolly as much as her incomparable talent: the way she made others feel valued, welcomed, and seen. Her generosity reached far beyond the stage and screen, from her personal relationships to her philanthropic work.

Arriving just in time for the holiday gifting season, The Dolly Parton Collection offers fans and families an opportunity to celebrate the legendary entertainer through a special collection of her most beloved films. Featuring heartwarming stories centered on family, faith, love and kindness, the collection makes a thoughtful holiday gift for longtime fans and a new generation of audiences alike. Available during the holiday shopping season, the collection invites viewers to revisit cherished favorites and share in the timeless storytelling that has made Dolly Parton a beloved cultural icon for generations.

Carrberry Companies, in association with v2 Entertainment Group, serves as management and marketing partners on behalf of Magnolia Hill Productions. This complete holiday collection campaign is entirely produced by Magnolia Hill Productions and Warner Bros. Television, a division of Skydance Corporation.

Sam Haskell and Dolly Parton’s television collaborations earned six Emmy^® nominations, including four for Outstanding Television Movie, and two wins: one shared by executive producers Haskell, Parton, and Debbie Allen, among others, and another awarded to Allen for choreography, for Netflix’s Christmas on the Square. Their productions have also won Christopher Awards, Movieguide Epiphany Prizes and Faith & Freedom Awards, 4 Family Film Awards, a GLAAD Media Award and the Academy of Country Music’s Tex Ritter Award, alongside nominations from the Producers Guild of America, Critics Choice, and other industry organizations. Their works reflected their beliefs. “Entertainment moves audiences with hope, generosity, belonging, tears and smiles. As Dolly famously said, ‘If you see someone without a smile, give ’em yours,’” said Haskell.

MORE THAN A CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP: A FRIENDSHIP ROOTED IN KINDNESS

Reflecting on Dolly in an August 2026 PEOPLE interview, Haskell recalled that “She made people feel seen.” His remembrance offers a personal perspective on the woman behind the performances: a friend whose warmth, humility, and generosity were as memorable as her artistic gifts. Those qualities also shaped the stories they brought to the screen.

The Dolly Parton Collection brings four productions together in a single DVD package. Parton’s stories of family, faith, forgiveness, and compassion reflect the same spirit of kindness celebrated on November 13.

The four-title collection is available at Walmart, Amazon and GRUV.com. A separate Coat of Many Colors / Christmas of Many Colors double-feature DVD is scheduled for seasonal placement in 641 Walmart stores through December 28. Additional individual titles, including Mountain Magic Christmas, are part of planned online holiday gifting promotions.
