It’s that time again! ABC’s “CMA Country Christmas” returns for the ninth year, with its 2018 edition, on Monday night.

For the second year in a row, Reba McEntire will host the Christmas special, which begins airing at 8 p.m. EST. As per usual, she won’t be the only one hitting the stage to sing tonight. The country star will be joined by a slew of other artists during the two-hour broadcast.

Tony Bennett, Dan + Shay, Brett Eldredge, Amy Grant, Diana Krall, Dustin Lynch, Martina McBride, Old Dominion, Brad Paisley, Michael W. Smith, Lindsey Stirling, The Isaacs and Brett Young will all be part of the holiday musical celebration. Viewers will see some fun collaborations and hear some classic Christmas songs.

As the name suggests, “CMA Country Christmas” is a Country Music Association production. Robert Deaton is the executive producer, while Paul Miller is the director and Jon Macks is the writer.

See all of the holiday-themed performances when the 2018 “CMA Country Christmas” special premieres on ABC on Monday at 8 p.m. EST, and during the repeat showing on Dec. 22 on the network at the same time.
