If your holiday season hasn’t officially started yet, it will tonight. CMA Country Christmas is back on ABC with a brand new special that promises cozy vibes, stunning performances, and that warm glow only country music can deliver.
Hosted by Lauren Daigle and Jordan Davis, this year’s show brings together a stacked lineup of artists who know exactly how to put some shine on the season. According to the official CMA announcement , the stage will welcome:
Lauren Daigle
Jordan Davis
Riley Green
Megan Moroney
Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Susan Tedeschi
Lady A
Derek Trucks
Little Big Town
BeBe Winans
Parker McCollum
It’s a mix of powerhouse vocals, country favorites, roots musicianship, and a little gospel flair for good measure. In other words, exactly what you want while you’re curled up with cocoa and a blanket as the temps drop.
The CMA describes the show as a night filled with classic holiday favorites and fresh seasonal surprises, making it the perfect way to kick off the most wonderful time of the year. And if past specials are any indication, expect everything from stripped down emotional moments to big sparkling arrangements that feel like stepping inside a snow globe.
CMA Country Christmas airs tonight at 9/8c on ABC, with next day streaming available on Disney Plus and Hulu.
Set your reminders, grab your snacks, and settle in for an evening that promises to lift your spirits and officially open the holiday season.
