Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Country music star and talk-show host Kelly Clarkson is set to host NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center special next month.

Clarkson will also sing on the 2-hour holiday program, which is set to air on NBC and stream on Peacock on Nov. 29.

Today anchors Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Al Roker and Craig Melvin will also help out during the festivities.

"I'm so excited to consider this city and Rockefeller Center my new home, and I can't imagine a better way to kick off Christmas this year than to be a part of this beautiful New York tradition with the lighting of the tree!" Clarkson said in a statement Thursday.
