Wynonna Judd to Host 'Christmas at the Opry' Special: See the Performers! (Exclusive)

It’s Christmastime at the Grand Ole Opry, y’all!

Musician Wynonna Judd will host the Grand Ole Opry’s Christmas at the Opry with a just-announced star-studded lineup of blockbuster singers – including Lauren Alaina, Mickey Guyton and more, NBC shared exclusively with PEOPLE. 

Country stars Adam Doleac, BRELAND, Brenda Lee, Chris Janson, Chrissy Metz, Kelly Clarkson, Meghan Patrick, Mitchell Tenpenny and Trace Adkins are set to lend their voices for the festive two-hour special, held at the historic music venue in Nashville. 

Viewers will be treated to an array of Christmas favorites, holiday classics and today’s biggest hits, including iconic duets and collaborations, NBC said in a statement. 

The show will be taped Tuesday in front of a live audience of country music fans, with the final product airing Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC before streaming the following day on Peacock.

Christmas has a big place in Wynonna’s musical career – and in her heart.  

She’s recorded several Christmas albums and on Southern Living’s “Biscuits & Jam” podcast, Judd, 59, shared some sweet holiday memories from her growing-up days in Appalachia. 

​"I remember it was a big deal because we always chopped down our own tree…We would literally march out and pick one and cut it down. We had time and that was such a gift. I didn't know it at the time,” the multiple Grammy-award singer recalled. 

“We had no TV, no telephone. And we made things. It was a way of life for us. We sang, and of course, we prayed," she said. 

The singer-songwriter talked more about Christmas to Billboard in 2014, explaining  that her 5 favorite Christmas songs are “Ave Maria,” “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,” “O Holy Night,” “Silent Night” and “Mary Did You Know?” 

Judd told the outlet that she is mindful of the fact that many fans consider her albums Classic Christmas and Christmas Time with the Judds which she recorded with her late mother, Naomi, as essential listening during their holiday celebrations. 

“I think I am keenly aware of that….The thought of someone decorating their tree to our album makes me stop for a second,” she said, adding, “they are having human experiences with us in the background. I take that very seriously, because I know how precious life is. 

Judd was honored last week at the inaugural People’s Choice Country Awards, where she received the first-ever country champion award, recognizing her commitment to social advocacy and philanthropy throughout her career.
