The holidays are a chance to step away from everyday life and reconnect with loved ones, a time to relax and unload the suitcase of life-long happy memories while making new ones. Of course, sharing a good movie is part of the spirit of holidays, and this year, Kathy Ireland of kathy ireland Worldwide is bringing a holiday special, The Waltons’ Homecoming, to the screen for an immersive family experience. The movie aired on The CW on November 28 with an encore showing on December 11, sharing the message of love and hope to families across America.
Proudly sponsored and presented by serial entrepreneur Kathy Ireland, The Waltons’ Homecoming is a genuinely heartwarming gift that displays the purest familiar values: family, inclusivity, love, and faith. This American classic aims to uplift families after the challenging year everyone has experienced. The movie is narrated by the original John Boy, Richard Thomas, and has an enviable cast of actors such as Bellamy Young, Ben Lawson, Logan Shroyer, and many others. The film is executive produced by the Chair and President of Magnolia Hill Productions at Warner Brother and trailblazing Emmy Award winner Sam Haskell.
In a statement, presenting sponsor Kathy said, “There is so much going in the world today that fails to encourage hope. The Waltons’ Homecoming is our gift to the people of America. There is no one more talented at bringing this message of hope into our homes on Thanksgiving weekend than Sam Haskell. His numerous accomplishments in television are legendary and iconic. To know Sam is to trust him and love him. So when we began thinking of what gift we could give to every American family this year, this film became our powerful choice.”
Additionally, Kathy Ireland has partnered with musical legends and seven-time Grammy winners Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. to provide the exquisite music for this holiday special. Their brilliant rendition of “Silent Night” has been aptly described by TV Guide as beautiful and soulful. WaterTower Music released the music on Monday, November 29. Furthermore, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. have partnered with kathy ireland Worldwide on their latest album release Blackbird: Lennon-McCartney Icons, which has placed them firmly back on the Billboard charts after over three decades of retirement.
In addition to bringing cheer to families across America during the holidays, Kathy also lends a philanthropic hand to children battling cancer through her involvement with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. She currently serves the foundation as the International Chair for the NPCF. The children’s foundation will also get proceeds from a commercial with a call to action for support. In the commercial, McCoo and Davis Jr. will give a stirring rendition of the song “Do It.” In addition, kathy ireland worldwide will make contributions to the foundation on behalf of each holiday purchase.
Kathy Ireland said, “I am excited for everyone to experience this treasured film. Something wonderful is about to happen.”
