“I think my favorite thing, honestly, this year is the show open because it’s one of [Amy’s] songs,” she said prior to the show. “It’s a classic, and it’s a song I’ve been singing since I was 15. So I’m just excited to get to sing that with [Amy].”

The ‘CMA Country Christmas’ Co-Hosts Are Longtime Friends

Last year, viewers delighted in the easy chemistry between CMA Country Christmas co-hosts Trisha Yearwood and Amy Grant. And the “How Do I Live” singer couldn’t wait to recreate it this year.

“I was really excited to get the call to come back and co-host again with you, Amy, because it was so much fun last year,” Yearwood said in a joint interview.

Grant agreed, adding, “It’s funny, when we worked together, something about you already felt familiar to me… I just thought it felt so natural to work with you and to be called back.”
