Reba McEntire hosted 2017’s fun-filled night, with performances from Trisha Yearwood, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Alan Jackson, and many more. Not only did Jackson perform the classic “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” he also sang “There’s A New Kid In Town” with Chris Young, a song he previously performed with the late Keith Whitley.
For his solo performance, looking as dapper as ever in a suit and his signature cowboy hat, Jackson performed the Christmas song and had the entire audience smiling with delight.

Alan Jackson released a Christmas album in 2002.
On October 22, 2002, Jackson released his second Christmas album, titled Let It Be Christmas. It included ten covers of classic Christmas songs including “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Winter Wonderland,” “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town,” “The Christmas Song,” “Silent Night,” “Jingle Bells,” “White Christmas,” “Silver Bells,” and “Away In A Manger.”
The sole original song on the album is the title track, which Jackson wrote himself.
It’s hard not to be in a good mood when watching a country legend and Hall of Fame inductee, perform one of the most well-known Christmas songs out there.
