GEORGE STRAIT TO HOST 2025 “CHRISTMAS IN ROCKEFELLER CENTER” 🎄✨
The holidays just got a whole lot brighter — NBC has officially confirmed that George Strait, the King of Country, will take center stage to host the 2025 “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” special for the very first time.
Under the glow of 50,000 twinkling lights, George will lead America’s most beloved holiday tradition, bringing together families, faith, and music in a night that promises to be as timeless as it is heartfelt.
The country legend — known for his warm storytelling, iconic voice, and unshakable grace — will perform several Christmas classics, alongside special duets with some of the world’s greatest artists. While the full lineup remains under wraps, insiders hint at appearances from Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, and Vince Gill, turning this year’s show into a once-in-a-lifetime country Christmas celebration.
With his signature humility, George shared a few words ahead of the big night:
“It’s not just about lighting a tree,” he said with a quiet smile. “It’s about lighting hearts — and remembering what this season truly means.”
For decades, “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” has marked the unofficial start of the holiday season in America, uniting millions in joy and reflection. But this year, with George Strait at the helm, the event will carry something extra — the heart of country music meeting the soul of Christmas.
Fans are already calling it “a dream come true,” with one viewer writing, “George Strait hosting Christmas in New York? That’s history in the making.”
From the first carol to the final note, expect an evening of peace, love, and music that bridges generations — a night where the King of Country reminds us that even in the busiest city in the world, the spirit of home still shines brightest.
