The 14th annual CMA Country Christmas was full of memorable moments, but Lindsey Stirling accompanying co-hosts Amy Grant and Trisha Yearwood on “Joy to the World” might be our favorite.

Stirling, a multi-talented musician known for her choreographed violin performances, pranced and pirouetted around the stage while Grant and Yearwood traded verses of the beloved hymn. After a high-stepping interlude from Stirling and her dance troupe, the country stars combined their voices in harmony for the final verse.

Watch the joyful performance below:

Filmed in Nashville in front of a live studio audience, CMA Country Christmas also included performances by Jordan Davis, Lady A, Ashley McBryde, Jon Pardi, The War And Treaty, Zach Williams, Lainey Wilson, and more.

Grant and Yearwood joined forces again later in the evening for a duet of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”

"I really get into the spirit of the season hard and I think this show, it’s got so much energy and joy and it’s a bring everybody together thing, it’s a feel-good thing, which we just really need. This is my favorite time of the year,” Yearwood said in a statement, per Country Now.

“There were just so many different fun, playful, serious, sentimental, faith-filled, there’s so many beautiful moments," Grant added. "I just think for the people here, live or if it’s just piped into your home and you’re watching it by yourself, it’s going to be a great experience."

ABC originally aired the primetime special on Thursday December 14 and will re-air it on Wednesday December 20 at 10 p.m. ET. It's also currently streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
