So much awesome. Judging by the previews and press photos, Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard are going to deliver a Christmas special no one will forget. Taraji & Terrence’s White Hot Holidays airs Wednesday night at 9 p.m. and sounds like something Cookie Lyon would come up with, doesn’t it? Perhaps this is what Cookie’s Cookout might have been.

| Taraji & Terence’s White Holiday Special |
Back to real life now. Empire is on hiatus until March, but thankfully Taraji and Terrence’s holiday special will give us one last dose of the TV series in 2015. Jussie Smollett (Jamal) and Bryshere Gray (Hakeem) will appear during the special, as well as Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, John Legend, Jamie Foxx, will.i.am, and more.
People observed that the special will also include some funny skits. In one, Taraji is dressed like Kim Kardashian and Terrence channels Kanye West. It sounds hilarious already! And of course, there will be a number of Christmas and holiday classics with their own Empire twist to them.
And from past history, we all know Taraji and Terrence work (and sing) so well together. In 2005, they starred in the Oscar-nominated movie Hustle & Flow together and performed its Oscar-winning song, “Hard Out Here For A Pimp.”
Earlier this summer, Taraji and Terrence performed the song again on Lip Sync Battle.
There’s no doubt their chemistry off the charts and I look forward to them making beautiful Christmas music together.
