Bill Murray to sing Christmas carols in upcoming TV special

It's not even Halloween yet but Bill Murray is looking ahead to the holidays.

The actor is reteaming with his "Lost in Translation" director Sofia Coppola for an upcoming TV special in which he plans to sing Christmas carols.

Murray shared some details of the project with Variety. "It's not going to be live. We're going to do it like a little movie," he revealed. "It won't have a format, but it's going to have music. It will have texture. It will have threads through it that are writing. There will be prose."

He added, "It will have a patina style and wit to it. It will be nice."

Coppola also confirmed the project, saying, "Not sure when it will air, but my motivation is to hear him singing my song requests."

Murray's latest film, "St. Vincent," comes out in theaters Oct. 24.
