Trisha Yearwood Shares Her Favorite Christmas Tradition
Sharing a video on Instagram, fans couldn’t get enough as one comment read, “Love this so much! Happy Anny y’all sweet people.” Another person added, “Last night was amazing! This moment melted my heart!”
Spreading Christmas cheer and melting hearts, Yearwood has made the most of 2025. Aside from Christmastime, she released another album, The Mirror. Marking her first album in nearly six years, The Mirror included collaborations with Hailey Whitters, Charles Kelley, and Jim Lauderdale. The album landed No. 28 on the US Top Country Albums and No. 4 on the UK Country Albums charts.
With more than enough reasons to love Christmas, Yearwood revealed one of her favorite moments of the holiday. And it had nothing to do with presents or snow. According to the singer, it was baking cookies.
Speaking with People, Yearwood admitted that baking cookies was a family event. “We have a cookie party, and everybody comes over and brings their recipe from … your childhood or whatever. So all the mixers are going, the ovens are all on.”
For Yearwood, the magic of Christmas isn’t about gifts or grand moments, but the time spent making memories with the people she loves.
