Noel Edmonds and his team resume gift-giving duties, recognising and rewarding the country's most deserving individuals. In keeping with tradition, this seasonal special is more warming than a mug or two of mulled wine, packed with extraordinary stories of bravery, compassion and kindness.
This TV special features the singing of Christmas carols by popular singers Luther Vandross, Faith Hill, and CeCe Winans, as well as opera singer Ruth Ann Swenson. The special is hosted by the cast of NBC's hit comedy "3rd Rock From the Sun": John Lithgow, Kristen Johnston, French Stewart, Joey Gordon-Levitt, and Jane Curtin. The guests of honor are the Presidential first couple, Bill and Hillary Clinton. President Clinton makes a brief speech near the end of the ceremony. Proceeds from the special go to charity.
