Two Magnolia Holiday Specials from Chip and Joanna Gaines to Premiere on discovery+, The Streaming Home for the Holidays

discovery+ is the streaming home for the holidays, with two new specials from Chip and Joanna Gaines among the exclusive discovery+ seasonal offerings. Joanna shares one of her favorite holiday traditions: making candy to give as gifts to friends and family in the “Holiday Candy” episode of Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines (December 3).

On Friday, December 10, viewers can catch the Season 2 premiere of Family Dinner and join along as host Andrew Zimmern visits families across America to explore how the cultural, regional, and historical facets of who we are inform what and how we eat.

The new exclusive Magnolia titles will be among the offerings on the discovery+ Holiday Central hub, which is currently live on the streaming service. Holiday Central will give fans access to 85 all-new premiere episodes as well as over 330 hours from 450 episodes of seasonal favorites, including the scripted feature Candy Coated Christmas with Ree Drummond. Other discovery+ originals premiering in December include true-crime doc Fruitcake Fraud (December 1) and The Pioneer Woman’s Hometown: Holiday Themes (December 11), a collection of three holiday gems with The Pioneer Woman herself including, “A Very Ice Cream Christmas,” “Christmas Sleepover” and “Christmas Magic at the Mercantile” celebrating Christmas in Ree Drummond’s small town, Pawhuska, Oklahoma.

In addition to original titles, discovery+ subscribers will have access to 48 holiday films acquired from Lifetime and MarVista Entertainment. These films include Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever, My Christmas Inn, and The Flight Before Christmas.

The streamer is also adding some holiday-themed content to its catalog of discovery+ Immersions, including Discovery’s unique version of the holiday yule log. The brand new immersions, which all launch November 26, include:
