Reba McEntire and the Isaacs Give Chills With ‘What Child Is This’ at CMA Country Christmas [Watch]
If you aren't feeling in the holiday mood, the Monday night (Dec. 10) broadcast of the 2018 CMA Country Christmas TV special should certainly help spread some seasonal cheer. The show was packed with a variety of festive performances, including a particularly moving one from host Reba McEntire, who was joined by family gospel group the Isaacs to perform a hauntingly melodic version of the classic "What Child is This." Watch above to experience the magic.
The show also featured performances from Tony Bennett, Dan + Shay, Brett Eldredge, Amy Grant, Diana Krall, Dustin Lynch, Martina McBride, Old Dominion, Brad Paisley, Michael W. Smith, Lindsey Stirling, and Brett Young ; all of whom were taped in September at Nashville's Belmont University.
This marks McEntire's second year as host for the special; a post she took over from Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, who'd hosted for seven years (since the show began). She's performed on the show as well, having delivered a memorable rendition of "Mary, Did You Know" with Little Big Town last year.
