Trisha Yearwood Hosts Christmas in Nashville
Trisha Yearwood officially ushered in the holiday season on Wednesday, December 3, serving as this year’s host of NBC’s Christmas in Nashville. Filmed inside Luke Combs’ Category 10 Bar, the special delivered a full dose of Music City cheer with performances, collaborations, and classic Christmas magic.
The festive lineup included Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers, Lauren Alaina, Ne-Yo, The War and Treaty, and Trace Adkins, making for one of the most eclectic holiday broadcasts of the year.
Trisha Yearwood Delivers a Playful Rendition of a Holiday Favorite
Yearwood lit up the stage with a spirited performance of “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.” Originally written for the 1966 animated adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the song has become a seasonal staple — and Yearwood’s soulful, upbeat take gave it fresh life.
The performance was perfectly timed: last month, Yearwood released her new holiday album Christmastime. The album features her studio version of “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” along with classics such as “Candy Cane Lane” and “Blue Christmas.”
It also includes a brand-new original track, “Merry Christmas, Valentine,” written and recorded alongside her husband and fellow country star, Garth Brooks.
Christmastime marks Yearwood’s first full Christmas album release since 2016’s Christmas Together, the duet project she created with Brooks.
