TV: Friday Hot List

CBS airs Yes Virginia tonight in an animated update on the classic holiday film. It’s about a girl in 1897 New York that writes a letter to a newspaper editor to get to the bottom of the question every child needs to know—is there a Santa Claus? The special also features the voices of Neil Patrick Harris and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

On the HALO Awards (hosted by Nick Cannon) Nickelodeon honors teenagers who have made a difference in their community. The honored teens are awarded funds for their cause, scholarship money and a trip to meet a celebrity. And it just so happens that Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Lebon James and Hayden Panettiere make appearances.
