Ring in the holiday season with country music’s biggest stars | Music City Minute

Nov 7, 2025, 1:44 PM

While several families in our neighborhood have been slow to take down their Halloween decorations, there are just as many (or more) families who are full speed into the holidays. Thankfully, for those of us having a hard time moving forward, Nashville’s biggest stars come to the rescue, serving up a giant helping of Christmas spirit, which will pair nicely with our eggnog. The “CMA Country Christmas” special has become a staple of holiday programming. This year, Jordan Davis and Lauren Daigle accepted the honor of hosting duties. Talk about big Christmas shoes to fill. Considering the legends who have helmed the show in years past, like Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood, Jennifer Nettles and Amy Grant…there is no pressure at all. Joining Davis and Daigle for a magical evening of performances include Riley Green, Megan Moroney, Lady A, Little Big Town, Parker McCollum, plus many more. “CMA Country Christmas” will air Tuesday, December 2, on ABC, or stream the next day on Hulu and Disney Plus.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
