The Johnson family will share some of their favorite holiday traditions with viewers. They’ll also share some of their most cherished Christmas memories. Additionally, CoJo will perform some timeless holiday songs to get the Yuletide spirit flowing.
Currently, there is no word on what Johnson will perform. However, a look at his 2021 album A Cody Johnson Christmas may shed some light on that. That 10-track collection includes some country Christmas staples like Willie Nelson’s “Pretty Paper” and Merle Haggard’s “If We Make It Through December.” Additionally, it contains new renditions of timeless holiday classics. Songs like “Away in a Manger,” “White Christmas,” “Silent Night,” and “Feliz Navidad” made the cut. Johnson also did a version of “Silent Night” with his family on the album. It would be great to see them share the song on the upcoming special.
