Lauren Daigle and Jordan Davis are set to host the upcoming 16th annual CMA Country Christmas holiday television special, which brings music and holiday spirit to viewers to help ring in the festive season.
In addition to hosting, Daigle and Davis will both perform during the event, while the special will also feature performers from a variety of musical genres. Riley Green, Lady A, Little Big Town, Parker McCollum, Megan Moroney, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks and BeBe Winans are among the performers slated to take part.
CMA Country Christmas, which was taped at Belmont University’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts in Nashville, is set to air Dec. 2 on ABC, starting at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT. The holiday special will then stream the following day on Hulu and Disney+.
Robert Deaton will executive produce the special, while Milton Sneed serves as director and Jon Macks is the writer.
CMA Country Christmas, which launched in 2010, has long helped music fans welcome in the season through unique collaborations and renditions of holiday classics. The special has previously featured appearances from artists including Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson, Breland, Pistol Annies and more. Last year, some of the special’s collaborations included Ashley McBryde teaming with Brittney Spencer, and For King & Country teaming with Carín León.
ABC is also home to the CMA Awards, as well as CMA’s summer concert television special CMA Fest. The CMA Awards are slated for Nov. 19 and will be held at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Lainey Wilson, Ella Langley and Megan Moroney lead this year’s CMA Awards nominees, with six nominations each.
