The CMA Country Christmas special airs tonight at 8 p.m. (7 central) on ABC, and for the seventh year in a row Jennifer Nettles will host.
The two-hour special features 23 yuletide favorites and some newer holiday originals from powerhouse performers Kelsea Ballerini, Brett Eldredge, Amy Grant, Chris Young, Trisha Yearwood, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Loretta Lynn and more.
Every year, Jennifer Nettles looks forward to perfecting her dance moves for the big night.
“It’s super, super fun. I don’t know really if it’s the best idea for me to have started dancing when I was 40. At least that’s how I feel the next day, as I’m in my epsom salt bath. But I do certainly enjoy it. I love everything that the choreographers and the producers put into the show. It is so much fun. So, I look forward to that.”
Other acts on the show include pop star Andra Day and Sarah McLachlan.
