Since 2004, Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir PBS Christmas specials, recorded over three nights in December and broadcast one year later, have become a beloved PBS tradition. The TV special has consistently ranked at the top of the list of most viewed holiday programs on PBS.

Since 2017, BYUtv has joined with the Choir to produce the broadcast specials.
