The festive season has arrived in Nashville, marking the most wonderful time of the year. The Grand Ole Opry, the epicenter of country music, is set to celebrate with a musical Christmas special. NBC’s “Christmas at the Opry,” hosted by the renowned Wynonna Judd, is poised to spread holiday cheer starting on December 7.
Wynonna Judd, acclaimed for hits like “Mary, Did You Know?,” “Burnin’ Love,” and “No One Else on Earth,” stands as one of the most decorated female country musicians in history. Notably, this special holds particular significance as it marks Judd’s inaugural time hosting an Opry special.
On the Opry’s red carpet, Judd shared her sentiments with The Tennessean, expressing her responsibility to spread joy, love, and peace. Reflecting on the past year’s challenges, particularly the loss of her mother Naomi Judd in 2022, Judd remarked, “[It] has just been mind-blowing at times.” Despite the hardships, she is fully present at the moment and eagerly anticipates performing the songs she loves. In addition to the festive music, Judd looks forward to quality time with family, peaceful walks in the woods, delving into the Bible, and focusing on healing during this holiday season.
The star-studded lineup for the Opry’s special includes other notable performers such as Lauren Alaina, Chris Janson, and Brenda Lee. Fans can find all the details they need about the upcoming holiday special to ensure they don’t miss out on the festive extravaganza.
