Little Big Town's Christmas special stars Orville Peck and Josh Groban

It’s a very rural Christmas for Little Big Town.

The foursome spread Christmas cheer live from Nashville on Monday evening with their TV special “Little Big Town’s Christmas at the Opry.”

The country supergroup known for their hits “Girl Crush” and “Boondocks” hosted an evening of holiday performances at the iconic venue following the release of their first-ever Christmas album in October.

“This is an incredible honor for us and we are thrilled to be able to share this special evening with audiences and fans across the country,” the band said in a press release ahead of the show.

“We invited some of our dearest friends to join us on stage and we can’t wait for everyone to experience the magic of the holidays in such an incredible venue.”

Little Big Town presents Christmas album

The Monday night special followed Little Big Town’s first foray into Christmas music.

In October, the band released The Christmas Record, an 11-track album of covers of classics and originals.

“We’ve been singing Christmas music for a long time,” said Karen Fairchild, one of the group members, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. “This is something we’ve wanted to do for almost 25 years, but doing other studio recordings, touring and having kids all happened.”

Christmas offers are becoming increasingly popular

Little Big Town’s star-studded Christmas show adds its name to a growing list of musician-led Christmas specials.

Previously thought to be a rather bourgeois practice, exclusively for family-friendly pop singers, many artists are now opting for it. Sabrina Carpenter’s “A Nonsense Christmas” featured pop, rap and country divas alike, and NBC’s “Christmas at Graceland” starred Lana Del Ray, Post Malone and Cher Honor the King.
