"We are simply beside ourselves to announce that we will host our own NBC holiday special at the prestigious Grand Ole Opry House," said Opry members Little Big Town.

Grammy, ACM, CMA, AMA and Emmy Award-winning group Little Big Town - consisting of members Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman and Jimi Westbrook - burst on to the music scene 25 years ago with smash hits "Boondocks," "Bring It on Home," "Good as Gone" and the Grammy-nominated "Little White Church." The band's breakthrough albums "Tornado" and "PainKiller" produced multiple #1 singles, including "Pontoon," "Tornado" and "Day Drinking," as well as the history-making, best-selling country single of 2015, "Girl Crush." "The Breaker" debuted at #1 in 2017 on the Billboard Country Charts to critical acclaim and features their Grammy-winning, multi-week #1 single, "Better Man," as well as the 2019 Grammy-nominated "When Someone Stops Loving You." In 2020, the band released their self-produced ninth studio album, "Nightfall," which once again hit the top of the Billboard Country Charts. The record included critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated songs "The Daughters," "Over Drinking" and "Wine, Beer, Whiskey" - the latter of which has reached almost 400 million global streams. In 2022, they released their 10th studio album, "Mr. Sun," which debuted as the Top Country Album released by a Group in 2022. To date, Little Big Town has earned more than 45 award show nominations and has taken home over 20 awards, including multiple Grammy, AMA, People's Choice, CMA and ACM Awards, in addition to an Emmy Award.
