‘CMA Country Christmas’ Returns with Hosts Amy Grant and Trisha Yearwood

Filmed in Nashville in front of a live audience, the holiday special showcases one-of-a-kind musical performances of festive classics from Country Music’s biggest stars. CMA Country Christmas airs Thursday, December 14 (8-9 P.M. EST) on ABC and the next day on Hulu and Disney+. Catch a sneak peek of this year’s CMA Country Christmas here.

CMA Country Christmas is a production of the Country Music Association. Robert Deaton is the Executive Producer, Milton Sneed is the Director, and Jon Macks is the Writer. CMA partnered with Balsam Hill, who provided their beautifully realistic artificial Christmas trees and holiday décor to decorate the CMA Country Christmas stage again this year.

On November 26, Grant and her long-time friend and collaborator Michael W. Smith will begin their 2023 Christmas tour. Joined by special guest Michael Tait of the Newsboys, Grant, and Smith will co-headline nine holiday shows, including their first appearance together on New York City’s iconic Carnegie Hall stage (December 5). Following this will be one of Music City’s most treasured traditions with Grant and husband Vince Gill, their beloved Christmas at the Ryman residency. The 12-concert run is scheduled for December 13-14, 16-17, 19-20, and 22-23 and will once again feature matinee performances of the beloved show.
