The team behind Christmas Con pushed their New Jersey convention to next year, but in place of their original December plans, they have announced the second edition of Christmas Con Virtual! This new online fan event will take place on December 5, 6, 12 & 13th; fans can experience 1-on-1 video chats, personalized recorded videos, personalized autographs, and must see celebrity panels.

Country music superstar Thomas Rhett and his his wife, philanthropist Lauren Akins, are hosting the 11th annual “CMA Country Christmas” this month! The beloved holiday special will feature a star-studded lineup of performers singing festive classics, including Rhett, Kelsea Ballerini, Gabby Barrett, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line, Lady A, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, and Darius Rucker with Lindsey Stirling.
This will be a television hosting debut for the couple, who will be joined by their three daughters during the show. Given the current state of the world, this will be the first time the show is filmed without a live audience, but instead with a throwback to nostalgic holiday specials of the past.
“The idea for this year’s show was to do a throwback of the great Christmas specials of the 1960s and 1970s,” says Robert Deaton, executive producer. “Andy Williams, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra all had classic Christmas specials where the viewer was invited into the homes of the host to celebrate the holiday like a best friend coming to visit. That was what we wanted to create for this year’s show. Instead of a big flashy production, we took a page from those iconic specials to say, ‘Come relax, and let’s celebrate the holiday together.'”
“CMA Country Christmas” will premiere on Monday, November 30th at 9pm/8c on ABC. If you miss the original airing, this program will be available for a limited time On Demand and on Hulu.
