“I’m humbled by the vision that God gave me for ‘Holiday Love.’ I am excited to create a family holiday television special filled with faith, music, love, laughs and heart. ‘Holiday Love’ will capture everyone’s spirit and is sure to become a staple in holiday entertainment for years to come,” Fields says.
