HOSTS GABBY BARRETT & CARLY PEARCE, JIMMIE ALLEN WITH LOUIS YORK & THE SHINDELLAS, BRELAND, BRETT ELDREDGE, LADY A, PISTOL ANNIES, CARRIE UNDERWOOD AND LAINEY WILSON TO PERFORM ON 'CMA COUNTRY CHRISTMAS'
12th Annual Holiday Special Airs Monday, Nov. 29 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EST) on ABC
Just in time for the holidays, the Country Music Association has revealed performers for its 12th annual holiday special, "CMA Country Christmas." First-time hosts Gabby Barrett and Carly Pearce will be joined by Jimmie Allen with Louis York & The Shindellas, BRELAND, Brett Eldredge, Lady A, Pistol Annies, Carrie Underwood and Lainey Wilson for an intimate evening of holiday classics. "CMA Country Christmas" airs Monday, Nov. 29 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EST), on ABC.
"CMA Country Christmas" brings the holidays home again, inviting viewers to sit back and enjoy the season in a warm and intimate home setting reminiscent of classic Christmas television specials of the past. Coming together for a night of festive performances and cozy holiday moments, "CMA Country Christmas" is sure to celebrate the magic of the Christmas season.
"CMA Country Christmas" will also feature two student musicians, supporting CMA's longstanding commitment to support equity in music education. A student at Nashville School of the Arts, Truman Eltringham, 17, and Carter Hammonds, an 8-year-old student at FH Jenkins Preparatory School, joined hosts Barrett and Pearce for an unforgettable performance you won't want to miss.
"CMA Country Christmas" is a production of the Country Music Association. Robert Deaton is the Executive Producer and Writer. Paul Miller is the Director.
CMA partnered with Balsam Hill, stunningly realistic Christmas trees and beautifully-designed holiday décor, to decorate the "CMA Country Christmas" stage again this year.
About "CMA Country Christmas"
Starting in 2010, "CMA Country Christmas" rings in the holiday season annually with a show full of festive classics and one-of-a-kind musical performances. The event is filmed in Nashville and airs each holiday season on ABC. ABC is the network home to the CMA Awards and CMA's summer concert TV special "CMA Fest."
Besides the typical, lighthearted Christmas movie rom-com, there are other great Christmas TV specials and events- so I thought I'd share an update today with the new holiday shows premiering tonight!

When the sun goes down, brighten up your night with...
*The Great Christmas Light Fight*
Details via ABC: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas as ABC's tree-mendously popular decorating competition series, "The Great Christmas Light Fight," takes over Wednesdays in December as it returns for its eighth season with back-to-back episodes starting WEDNESDAY DEC 9 at 8/7c, for three consecutive weeks. America's brightest houses bring joy to the world with the help of celebrity judges – lifestyle expert Carter Oosterhouse and famed interior designer Taniya Nayak.
All isn't always calm, but all is definitely bright as the Christmas classic takes viewers across the country to the most elaborate and awe-inspiring holiday displays in the nation. This holiday season, we will once again see four fantastic families face off in each one-hour episode and compete to win $50,000 should they "sleigh" the competition. Taking Christmas decorating to another level, the Heavyweights special will return for its third year featuring a first-ever parade of one-of-a-kind sparkling floats and a mile-long drive-through with over a million synchronized lights, to name a few, that viewers will never forget.

It's a live stage production that's anything but dull - with the premiere of...
*Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Musical!*
Details via NBC: A new TV musical event - recorded at London's Troubadour Theatre - takes the timeless holiday story from the stage to your screen. Matthew Morrison stars as the Grinch in Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Musical!

*CAUTION: I have not pre-screened this; therefore, I do not know if the content or dialogue is family friendly. Please use your own discretion - if you choose to watch. To be honest, my favorite version of "The GRINCH" is the old classic animation. Some children are often very frightful of the movie version, and this one, in my opinion, looks rather creepy, too. So please beware - for your little ones. See trailer below.

Countdown the 12 best holiday commercials ever with...
*Greatest Holiday Commercials Countdown 2020*
Details via the CW: HOSTS KEVIN FRAZIER AND KELTIE KNIGHT RETURN – This holiday special will countdown the 12 best holiday commercials ever – one for each of the 12 days of Christmas. In addition to the top 12, the special features other great commercials from both the U.S. and abroad, that capture the true spirit of the holiday season – from the heartfelt to the hilarious, from the outstanding to the ridiculous.
Storyline via Lifetime: Julia Rogers (Lexi Giovagnoli) is an uptight, hardworking realty owner who has lost her Christmas spirit. She will have to spend five days at a Christmas Inn with her business competitor, Chad Everest (Travis Burns), in order to win over the badly needed listing of the Erickson Farmstead. While competing to win the listing, Julia and Chad discover that they have more in common than they thought.
Happy *Cyber Monday* ...after the Thanksgiving holiday! I hope you've all had a little time over the weekend to *digest* some of the latest Christmas movie premieres.
My latest watches have been:A Godwink Christmas: Second Chance, First Love, A Cranberry Christmas, The Christmas Doctor, and If I Only Had Christmas. All of these movies are family-friendly, and I enjoyed each one! In fact, I posted a review for some of them on the 2020 Christmas Movie Review Page - *SEE HERE*! I'm so thankful to everyone who has taken the time to share their take on movies there.
*Please know, I have not previously seen the concerts/singing events premiering tonight, and I may not endorse every singer or song.
*Also, please know - I have NOT pre-screened the NEW Christmas movie listed above. If you happen to watch one of the new Christmas movies and want to share whether or not it is a family friendly movie, please stop back by and leave a comment. I know everyone here would be grateful to know any information you are willing to share.
Apple TV+ put out a press release sharing this news-
Here's an excerpt of their statement...
"A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
and Christmas Specials
To Air on Broadcast TV After All"
"Peanuts fans upset by the classic Charlie Brown holiday specials leaving broadcast for streaming have no need to fear. Apple TV+ and PBS have announced a partnership to bring A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas back to broadcast in two special events. Alongside their debuts on Apple TV+, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving will also air on PBS and PBS KIDS on November 22nd at 7:30 p.m. local time / 6:30 p.m. CT. A Charlie Brown Christmas will air on PBS and PBS KIDS on December 13th at 7:30 p.m. local time / 6:30 p.m. CT."
Thank you to Jim, Dennis, and the anonymous person who commented to share this news! It is nice they were able to work out this deal, but it's sad to see they aren't playing the Mayflower episode, which typically ran in the second half hour in it's hour time slot on ABC. Even though it's a cartoon, this story titled "This Is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers" so beautifully tells the real story of the first Thanksgiving.
I am, however, most grateful to know "A Charlie Brown Christmas" will be airing on TV - so the tradition continues... and hopefully, they will bring both of these meaningful specials back again next year!
As a special DaySpring Presentation tonight, "Christmas Town," starring one of Hallmark's favorite leading ladies, Candace Cameron Bure, will premiere for the very first time on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries! This heartfelt story is sure to inspire you and touch your spirit, whether you are watching it again, or for the very first time!
Christmas Town storyline via Hallmark: Elementary school teacher Lauren Gabriel decides to leave the comfortable and familiar – and career-only minded boyfriend – for a more family-friendly/white-picket fence lifestyle far from Boston. En route, her train is delayed in the small, quaint town of Grandon Falls, nicknamed “Christmastown.” When Lauren meets the handsome handy-man Travis, his young foster son Dylan and searches for a long-lost beloved family heirloom, she extends her stay. During the festive and family-focused days before Christmas she gets an unexpected opportunity and contemplates a life-changing decision, realizing that Christmas – and Grandon Falls – has a way of making miracles happen.
In honor of this DaySpring Presentation of this film, did you know, Candace Cameron Bure has a line of DaySpring Christian products? You can find them at DaySpring, Amazon, and other retailers. I'm going to share some of my favorite items from Candace's collection from Amazon.
