    “LET’S ROCK AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE!” Lauren Alaina Brings Holiday Magic To Life With Her Spunky Covers Of Classic Christmas Hits During NBC’s Christmas In Nashville Special, Delivering Joy, Energy, And A Dash Of Country Charm

    Lauren Alaina Delivers Two Fan-Favorite Holiday Performances During NBC’s Christmas in Nashville

    Country star Lauren Alaina brought a double dose of festive cheer to NBC’s Christmas in Nashville, performing two beloved holiday classics with the unmistakable charm and powerhouse vocals that have made her a Grand Ole Opry favorite.

    The two-hour special aired Wednesday night (December 3) at 10/9c, immediately following Christmas in Rockefeller Center. Hosted by Trisha Yearwood, the program featured a wide-ranging lineup including Trace Adkins, The War and Treaty, Ne-Yo, Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers, and more.

    A Spirited Take on “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”

    Alaina kicked off her appearances with a lively rendition of Brenda Lee’s timeless hit “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” Leaning into the song’s swing and sparkle, she delivered the performance with the sort of joyful energy that instantly lifted the room. Alaina has previously described the tune as one of her “very favorite Christmas songs of all time,” and that love was evident in every note.

    NBC later shared a clip of the performance online, giving viewers another chance to enjoy her festive take on the classic.

    Keeping the Celebration Going with “Jingle Bell Rock”

    Her second performance of the night was an upbeat cover of the 1957 Bobby Helms classic “Jingle Bell Rock.” The song has been reimagined by countless artists over the decades — including Brenda Lee, George Strait, Rascal Flatts, and Kelly Clarkson — and Alaina added her own signature sparkle to the holiday standard.

    Viewers were treated to a cheerful, melody-rich version that fit perfectly within the night’s celebratory spirit.

    Trisha Yearwood Leads the Night With Heart and Humor

    As host, Trisha Yearwood not only guided audiences through the special but also delivered several standout performances of her own. She joined Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers for a warm, nostalgic rendition of “Blue Christmas,” and later took the stage solo for “Cool Yule” and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.” Both songs appear on her new holiday album Christmastime, released this season.

    Yearwood’s blend of wit, warmth, and vocal precision anchored the event, creating a cozy holiday atmosphere throughout the night.
