New York City — The holidays are about to sparkle a little brighter as Reba McEntire, the Queen of Country, returns to headline NBC’s “Christmas at Rockefeller Center” celebration this year. With her golden voice, signature Southern charm, and deep-rooted warmth, Reba is set to deliver one of the most anticipated holiday performances of the season.
Producers have confirmed that the 70-year-old country icon will take center stage at the iconic Rockefeller Plaza, performing live beneath the city’s world-famous Christmas tree — a tradition that has brought joy to millions for over nine decades. Known for her effortless blend of strength and sincerity, Reba will bring her trademark country soul to timeless holiday classics including “Silent Night”, “O Holy Night,” and “The Christmas Song.”
In addition to traditional carols, fans can look forward to festive favorites from Reba’s chart-topping holiday album, “The Gift of Christmas,” which remains one of the most beloved country Christmas records of all time. Sources close to the production describe her performance as “a show-stopping mix of elegance, nostalgia, and faith — everything Reba stands for.”
Speaking about the upcoming special, Reba shared:
“Christmas has always been about love, family, and faith — and I’m so honored to share that joy with everyone again this year. Performing at Rockefeller Center feels like coming home for the holidays.”
This year’s event promises to be one of the most emotional yet, featuring a star-studded lineup of performers, surprise duets, and a breathtaking finale when the Rockefeller Christmas Tree is officially lit before a live audience and millions watching around the world.
NBC executives praised Reba’s return, calling her “the heart of American Christmas television.” “There’s something about Reba — her warmth, her voice, her humor — that makes people feel connected,” said one producer. “She embodies the spirit of the season.”
From her early hits like “Fancy” and “Is There Life Out There” to her recent success as a coach on The Voice, Reba McEntire continues to prove that her influence in both country music and television is as strong as ever. Her upcoming Rockefeller performance not only marks another milestone in her legendary career but also reaffirms her place as one of America’s most cherished performers.
As the lights of New York twinkle and the first notes of “O Holy Night” echo across Rockefeller Plaza, one thing is certain — Reba McEntire will once again remind the world why she remains a voice of faith, love, and timeless holiday magic.
