Rising star Kassi Ashton mixes melancholy and hope beautifully to deliver a stirring rendition of the Dolly Parton classic “Hard Candy Christmas.” Written by Carol Hall for the Broadway musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, which later became a movie starring Parton, “Hard Candy Christmas” serves as testimony that while things may be tough right now, it will get better.

“I think we can all agree, it’s been a hell of a year,” says Kassi. “But as the year comes to a close, and we are all in the holiday spirit, it’s time to decide what we take with us and what we leave behind- and there is no better fitting song for that than Dolly Parton’s ‘Hard Candy Christmas.’”
