For King + Country, CMT Partner For Special Christmas Episode Of ‘CMT Crossroads’
A special holiday episode of CMT Crossroads starring For King + Country is set to premiere on Dec. 12 on CMT.
CMT Crossroads Christmas: For King + Country & Friends will feature Breland, Chrissy Metz, Natalie Grant and Rebecca St. James performing renditions of time-honored Christmas classics, including “Joy To The World,” “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” “Angels We Have Heard On High,” “Go Tell It On The Mountain,” “Silent Night” and more. Known for their electric onstage drumming, the duo also turns in a show stopping performance of “Little Drummer Boy.”
During the special For King + Country’s Luke and Joel Smallbone and their guests will share Christmas memories, family traditions and what the holiday means to them, as well as heartfelt messages of peace and hope.
“What does Christmas mean to you? For us, it sounds like the most meaningful songs ever written,” the duo shares. “It looks like different genres, family members and cultures coming together–reunited under love, joy and the redemption of a baby boy. We linked arms with our country comrades at CMT to put together a special night that does just that… grateful.”
The one-hour episode will air at 9 p.m CT, with encores scheduled for Dec. 12, Dec. 18 and a special Christmas Eve airing on Dec. 24.
The multi-Grammy winning duo recently earned a nomination for the 2023 Grammy Awards alongside Hillary Scott of Lady A for their song, “For God Is With Us.” The single is up for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song and marks the duo’s seventh career nomination.
