Reba To Host ‘CMA Country Christmas’
Reba McEntire will debut as host for the eighth annual CMA Country Christmas event from Nashville’s famed Grand Ole Opry House. The television taping will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 14, followed by the primetime event airing Monday, Nov. 27, 8/7 CT on ABC. The two-hour holiday music celebration will feature performances by McEntire and an as-yet-unannounced lineup sharing their favorite sounds of the season.
“Christmas is such a special time. It reminds me of growing up in Oklahoma and singing carols with my family,” said McEntire. “I’m just tickled to join a group of some of my best Country buddies onstage to celebrate the holiday season. This is where my love of music began.”
Tickets for the show go on sale Friday, Oct. 6 at opry.com.
CMA Country Christmas is a production of the Country Music Association. Robert Deaton is the Executive Producer, Paul Miller is the Director, and Jon Macks is the writer.
