There’s a certain magic that only holiday lights, twinkling evergreens, and country music can conjure, and this December, ABC and the Country Music Association are delivering it in spades. The 16th annual CMA Country Christmas returns Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 9/8c, with streaming on Hulu and Disney+ the following day.
For the first time, Lauren Daigle and Jordan Davis step into the co-host spotlight, bringing their signature warmth, charm, and humor to the evening. Both artists are known for their ability to connect with audiences, Daigle with her soaring, soulful vocals, and Davis with his easygoing charisma and sing-along sensibility. Together, they promise to guide viewers through a night that feels equal parts intimate and grand, a reflection of the very best of Nashville’s holiday spirit.
The lineup itself reads like a holiday wish list come to life. Alongside Daigle and Davis, Riley Green, Lady A, Little Big Town, Parker McCollum, and Megan Moroney are set to bring the country hits. And for those looking for something a little unexpected, genre-defying performers like Preservation Hall Jazz Band, blues icons Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, and gospel legend BeBe Winans ensure the night will resonate beyond traditional country borders.

Filmed in front of a live Nashville audience, CMA Country Christmas blends nostalgia with fresh takes on holiday classics. Expect duets that tug at the heartstrings, soulful renditions that stir the spirit, and a few surprises that will make the season feel brand-new. This isn’t just a television special, it’s become a yearly tradition for country music fans, a place where memories are made, voices join together, and the warmth of the season is amplified by some of the genre’s biggest names.
Beyond the music, the special celebrates what the holidays mean in Nashville: family, community, and the joy of coming together. Whether it’s a tender solo from Daigle, a full-band performance from Little Big Town, or a gospel-infused number from BeBe Winans, the show reminds viewers that country music has always had a seat at the holiday table.
So mark your calendars and prep your hot cocoa: CMA Country Christmas returns Dec. 2 at 9/8c on ABC. And for those who can’t make it live, the next-day streaming on Hulu and Disney+ makes it easy to catch every twinkle, every note, and every moment of holiday magic.
