Highlights from CMA Country Christmas
The holiday celebration featured many classic Christmas songs alongside a few contemporary Yuletide hits. Perhaps the oldest song of the night was also one of the biggest highlights, as Lainey Wilson and Zach Williams joined forces for “Go Tell It on the Mountain.”
“Christmas music makes you feel at home,” Wilson said ahead of the performance, in which the duo did an upbeat rendition of the 114-year-old spiritual song. “It’s pretty similar to country music. It tells a story. I’m so excited that I get to do this with Zach Williams. I’m a big fan of his and I love his version of this song so it’s gonna be pretty fun.”
Yearwood and Grant provided many highlights during the event. They are expert hosts and helped bring the holiday spirit to viewers everywhere. However, their performances were even better. The two amazingly talented singers teamed up for “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” and “Joy to the World.” They brought award-winning violinist Lindsey Stirling in for the latter.
