In each episode, Terry Crews will visit a hopeless holiday enthusiast and put them through a hilarious crash-course in how to do Christmas right.

Five 1-hour episodes will air on consecutive nights in the week leading up to Christmas on The CW. Full schedule below:

“Christmas is the best time of the year, and done right, the day is filled with love, joy, and warmth, said Crews. “But sometimes, the pressure of gathering loved ones and hosting an event can be a stress-filled recipe for disaster. And that’s where I come in – I’m going to work my Christmas magic to help give these families the best holiday ever.”

“Terry Crews is a superstar who infuses a fantastic celebratory energy into everything he does each and every day,” said Electus CEO, Christopher Grant. “Allowing his spirit to shine in this format will make it an incredibly fun treat for audiences worldwide. We are thrilled to be working with The CW to bring the show to life this holiday season.”

“Terry Crews Saves Christmas” is produced by Tim Warren (Bar Rescue), and Christopher Grant, Drew Buckley, Justin Dudek, and Max Levenson of Electus.

Electus International will be selling the finished tape and format at MIPCOM this October.

The partnership with Crews was negotiated by Brad Slater of WME and Troy Zien of 3Arts.
