Her heart will go on

Make it a night of Christmas music with plenty of diverse options. Those who think holiday parties are always better when hosted by a diva should attend "A Home for the Holidays With Celine Dion" (7 p.m., WCCO, Ch. 4), a special that features inspirational stories about children adopted from foster care.

They won't stop

Those who missed the Jingle Ball in St. Paul last week can still get their "twerk" on by watching Miley Cyrus headline the "iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2013" (7 p.m., WUCW, Ch. 23), which also includes performances by Robin Thicke, Pitbull, Fall Out Boy and Selena Gomez.

Smart cookies

Michael Bublé is out to prove he can sing with anybody in "Michael Bublé's 3rd Annual Christmas Special" (9 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11), which is why he's taking turns singing with Mariah Carey and Cookie Monster. Hope the caterers don't mix up their backstage demands. Mariah hates ginger snaps, and Cookie can't handle Champagne.
