Dolly Parton is in the holiday spirit. The legendary country singer appeared on Sunday's episode of "Today" to talk about her new album, "A Holly Dolly Christmas," and "Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square," a Netflix musical. She didn't shy away from talking about the division in America. She said, "I think we've just become so divided, 'cause people just seem to love to hate," adding "But we need to carry that Christmas spirit of peace on Earth, and loving one another.

Dolly explained, "We can't save the world, but we can save the world we're living in." She added, "And Lord knows, I hope next year is better than this one."
