1) “iHeartRadio Jingle Ball,” 8-10 p.m., ABC. Holiday music gets a brisk, pop-music feel from Olivia Rodrigo (shown here in a previous concert), Niall Horan, Sza, Sabrina Carpenter and more. There’s Pentatonix, OneRepublic, Jelly Roll, AJR, Flo Ridda, Melanie Martinez, David Kushner, Doechii, Paul Russell and Big Time Rush. And alongside that youthful bunch, Cher, 77, performs “Believe,” her hit from 25 years ago.
2) “Dick Van Dyke 98 Years of Magic,” 9-11 p.m., CBS. Just eight days after his 98th birthday, here’s a celebration of Van Dyke’s career. It re-create the “Dick Van Dyke Show” set and moments from his movies — “Mary Poppins,” “Bye Bye Birdie,” “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” – and specials. That means song-and-dance with Jason Alexander, Rita Ora, Zacharly Levi, Amanda Kloots and Skylar Astin.
3) “Miracle in Bethlehem, PA,” 8 p.m., Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. One of the best Christmas TV movies, the 1999 “A Season for Miracles,” stranded a young aunt and two kids in Bethlehem, Rhode Island, where she found warmth and a guy. Now this strands a young mom and baby in Bethlehem, Pa. There’s no room in the inn, but the innkeeper’s son gives them a place.
4) More Christmas. At 8 p.m., CBS concludes the “Big Brother Reindeer Games,” NBC reruns its “Christmas at Graceland” concert and Fox debuts “The Christmas Break,” a well-meaning but so-so movie about a couple’s visit to her Irish roots. From 9-11 p.m., NBC reruns “Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas” (2022), an agreeable concert inside a clumsy sorta-movie. And at 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies has “Meet Me in St. Louis” (1944).
5) “The Gilded Age” and “Barbie” (2023), 7:58 and 9 p.m., HBO. Women take a giant leap, from the corset-strangled world of 1880s society to the feminist optimism that writer-director Greta Gerwig and producer-star Margot Robbie gave a modern Barbie. Both shows are beautifully crafted; this “Gilded Age” season-finale sees the “opera wars” peak and Marian make a key decision.
