Henson and Terrence Howard are teaming up to spread cheer, goodwill and some holiday magic in "Taraji and Terrence’s White Hot Holidays," an all-new music and variety special airing tonight, Wednesday, Dec. 9, from 9-10 PM ET/PT, on FOX (the hour during which "Empire" airs, although the series is on holiday break until next March).
