The two-hour holiday event will air on NBC & Peacock
NBC will bring the holiday spirit to Nashville on December 16th Little Big Town’s Christmas at the Opry, a star-studded music special featuring a dazzling array of country’s biggest names and hosted by Grammy Award-winning country superstars Little Big Town.
Following its NBC broadcast, the special will be available for streaming on Peacock the next day.
The two-hour celebration will feature a variety of Christmas favorites and holiday classics, including iconic duets and collaborations. The can’t-miss holiday event, which will take place in front of a live audience at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, will feature performances from an astounding lineup of fan-favorite artists, including Dan + Shay, Kelsea Ballerini, Sheryl Crow, Kirk Franklin, Josh Groban, Kate Hudson and Orville Peck.
“We are simply beside ourselves to announce that we will host our own NBC holiday special at the prestigious Grand Ole Opry House,” says Opry members Little Big Town. “This is an incredible honor for us, and we are beyond thrilled to share this special evening with viewers and fans across the country. We’ve invited some of our dearest friends to join us on stage, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience the magic of the holidays at such an incredible venue. After 25 years as a band, we’re also excited to release our very first Christmas album and are thrilled to perform some of those classics during this special.”
This project is an example of collaboration resulting from NBCUniversal’s equity investment in Opry Entertainment Group alongside Atairos, which was finalized last year.
The multi-Grammy Award-winning foursome recently released its first-ever Christmas album with The Christmas Record, out October 4th via Capitol Records Nashville.
Earlier this month, the group kicked off their blockbuster 25th anniversary celebration with their first-ever Greatest Hits album. Consisting of 12 tracks spanning the group’s genre-defining discography, the record pays tribute to their remarkable journey thus far, and teases what’s to come thanks to fresh collaborations with Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, and Sugarland.
This fall, Little Big Town will hit the road for the Take Me Home Tour, which kicks off October 24th in Greenville, South Carolina, and makes stops at arenas nationwide with special guest Sugarland.
