Who’s Behind the Music?
Home for Christmas isn’t an original score – it’s a live concert special built entirely around cover performances of Christmas standards, arranged for Hannah Waddingham’s voice and a live 18-piece band. There is no single credited composer; instead, the special showcases classic songwriting from across decades of holiday music, from Johnny Marks’s “Run Rudolph Run” to Irving Berlin’s “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”
