Written by djfrosty on December 13, 2024
Little Big Town and the Grand Ole Opry are ushering in the holidays this year, pairing Christmas music with one of Nashville’s most iconic stages in the upcoming television special Little Big Town’s Christmas at the Opry.
Set to air Dec. 16 on NBC beginning at 8 p.m. ET/PT (and streaming on Peacock the following day), the special will be hosted by three-time Grammy winners Little Big Town (who will also lend their sterling harmonies to several songs).
They will also welcome several of their fellow friends and artists, including Dan + Shay, Kelsea Ballerini, Sheryl Crow, Kirk Franklin, Josh Groban, Kate Hudson and Orville Peck to perform a mix of Christmas classics and original holiday music. The mix of solo performances, duets and other collaborations were all filmed in front of an audience at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry House.
In an early-look clip previewing the special, Little BIg Town’s Jimi Westbook says, “There’s no better place to celebrate the holiday and season that we love so much, than to be here at the Opry with friends and family.”
The clip also spotlights Ballerini performing a rendition of “White Christmas,” Dan+Shay performing “Holiday Party” from their 2024 album It’s Officially Christmas: The Double Album, and Little Big Town teaming with Groban for a harmony-filled collaboration.
“We are simply beside ourselves to announce that we will host our own NBC Holiday Special at the prestigious Grand Ole Opry House,” Opry members Little Big Town previously said in a statement. “This is an incredible honor for us, and we are beyond thrilled to share this special evening with viewers and fans across the country.”
In October, the six-time CMA vocal group of the year winners released their first Christmas project, The Christmas Record, which includes their renditions of songs including Merle Haggard’s “If We Make It Through December” and Amy Grant’s “Tennessee Christmas.”
The NBC special is executive produced by Jesse Ignjatovic, Evan Prager and Barb Bialkowski for Den of Thieves. Jason Owen and Ashley Edens also executive produce.
