For Little Big Town, it’s a very rural Christmas.

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

The country music supergroup, known for hits “Girl Crush” and “Boondocks,” hosted a night of holiday performances at the iconic venue after releasing their first-ever Christmas album in October.

“This is an incredible honor for us and we are very excited to share this special night with viewers and fans across the country,” the band said in a pre-show press release.

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

Little Big Town debuts Christmas album

Monday night’s special came on the heels of Little Big Town’s first foray into holiday music.

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

“We’ve been singing Christmas music for a long time,” Karen Fairchild, one of the group’s members, told Rolling Stone in a recent interview. “It’s something we’ve wanted to do for almost 25 years, but making other studio records, touring and kids all happened.”

Christmas offer balloon in popularity

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

Once thought of as a more contained practice, exclusive to family-friendly crooners, many artists are now opting. Sabrina Carpenter’s “A Nonsense Christmas” featured pop, rap and country divas, and NBC’s “Christmas at Graceland” saw Lana Del Ray, Post Malone and Cher honor the king.
