John Legend hosts the second annual “Global Citizen Prize” (NBC, 8 p.m.), which urges grass roots participation amid performances from Legend, along with Alessia Cara, Carrie Underwood, Common, Gwen Stefani, JoJo and Tori Kelly, with some special appearances from John Oliver, Katie Couric, Miley Cyrus, Nick Jonas, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Oprah Winfrey, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Scott Evans, and Usher.
A town hall for small fry comes this morning in “The ABCs of Covid-19” (CNN, 10 a.m.), produced in conjunction with the people behind “Sesame Street.”
This year’s “Wendy” (HBO, p.m.), the “Peter Pan” variant that was the first film for director Benh Zeitlin after “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” gets a premium cable premiere.
Rachel Boston stars as the royal carousel repair person hired by a prince (Neal Bledsoe) in the new holiday romance “A Christmas Carousel” (Hallmark, 8 p.m.).
It plays opposite another such made-for-TV film, “A Christmas Exchange” (Lifetime, 8 p.m.), in which Laura Vandevoort plays a woman from an English farm who goes to London and meets a financier (Rainbow Sun Francks). Christmas fits in somewhere.
Later comes “Swept Up by Christmas” (Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, 10 p.m.) about an antique seller and a cleaner. Lindy Booth and Justin Bruening star.
But there’s also the Hallmark parody/horror film, “Letters to Satan Claus” (Syfy, 9 p.m.).
