The holiday special will air on ABC on Dec. 14 at 8 p.m. ET and will be available to stream the next day on Disney+ and Hulu. But if you don’t have cable and want to watch the show in real time, you can stream the event on a variety of live TV streamers such as DirecTV, Sling TV and Hulu + Live TV.
Amy Grant and Trisha Yearwood will co-host this year’s holiday special, during which the pair will also sing a duet rendition of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” and “Joy to the World.”
One of the most anticipated performances of the evening is Zach Williams and Lainey Wilson’s cover of the classic Christmas song “Go Tell It on the Mountain.” It will cap off a massive year for Wilson, who earned album of the year for “Bell Bottom Country” at both the CMA Awards and ACM Awards, and is nominated for best country album at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Other performances throughout the night include Lady A’s take on “What Christmas Means to Me, The War and Treaty’s cover of “Christmas” and Jordan Davis’s rendition of “Oh Come All Ye Faithful.” Ashley McBryde, Stirling and Jon Pardi are also set to perform.
After CMA Christmas, country fans can look forward to CBS’ five-hour Nashville New Year’s Eve Special featuring Morgan Wallen, Bailey Zimmerman, Kane Brown and dozens more on the lineup. But before the New Year, get into the holiday spirit by streaming the CMA Christmas special online:
