It seems people can't get enough of country music, especially during the holiday season, so NBC has doubled up with new festive special Christmas in Nashville. Trisha Yearwood hosts the 60-minute bash, which features something you really won't want to miss — a Bill Murray rendition of José Feliciano's joyful earworm “Feliz Navidad”.
Read on as we explain how to watch Christmas in Nashville 2025 from anywhere with a VPN — plus a full replay.
Christmas in Nashville premieres on Wednesday, December 3.
► Time: 10 p.m. ET/PT / 3 a.m. GMT (Thu.) / 2 p.m. AEDT (Thu.)
• U.S. — NBC via Sling or Fubo (next day on Peacock)
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free
Following hot on the heels of ABC and Hulu's CMA Country Christmas 2025 (also fronted by Yearwood) and with Little Big Town's Christmas at the Opry still to come on NBC and Peacock, Christmas in Nashville is a little bit different, more low-key and stripped-back.
Taking place at Category 10, Luke Combs's downtown Nashville bar, the lineup includes noughties R&B icon Ne-Yo, who was in attendance at the recent 2025 CMA Awards to promote his new single “Simple Things” and the upcoming launch of a country-inspired album.
The War and Treaty, Lauren Alaina and Trace Adkins are also performing, as are the Blood Brothers (alongside Murray), while we're hopeful that three-time Grammy winner Yearwood, who received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame in March, released "The Mirror" in July, and has just started a Christmas tour, will join the festivities too.
Here's how to watch Christmas in Nashville live streams for free from anywhere.
