Some of country music’s biggest artists are embracing the most wonderful time of the year with new Christmas music in 2025.

Dan + Shay, Gabby Barrett, LeAnn Rimes, Mickey Guyton, Hunter Hayes, Brad Paisley, RaeLynn, Chris Young and many others have released original holiday music and/or their own renditions of Christmas classics. Some of them debuted singles, others teamed up with fellow country stars on new duets (including Luke Bryan and Ella Langley on “Winter Wonderland”), and some released EPs and albums.

Guyton told iHeartCountry at the 59th CMA Awards last month that she “used to always get the ‘Christmas blues,’ because, you know, it’s just a sign that life is so short. And then once I had my son, [Grayson, in February 2021], Christmas became magical again for me.”

“Christmas has always been one of my favorite times of year, and these songs mean so much to me,” Trisha Yearwood said in a statement of her album, Christmastime, which arrives ahead of her “12 Days of Christmas Tour.” The album includes a duet with her husband, fellow country icon Garth Brooks. “To be able to perform them with a full symphony brings the magic to another level. I can’t wait to share this music and celebrate the season with fans on tour.”

Reigning Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson put a holiday spin on her previously-released single, “Peace, Love, and Cowboys.” Hayes hoped that his EP, Evergreen Christmas Sessions, would be a chance for fans to “enjoy getting into the holiday spirit during this new chapter.” RaeLynn released Jingle Jangle Rock (and has since started a carpool Christmas karaoke online series to sing holiday songs and talk about cherished traditions with friends). Married singer-songwriters Hannah Ellis and Nick Wayne released a unique Christmas song about the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, and more.
