Jordan Davis And Lauren Daigle Host 2025’s CMA Country Christmas Program
Those who tuned in to CMA Country Christmas on Tuesday (December 2) were treated to a dazzling performance from Lauren Daigle and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
After two years, Trisha Yearwood and Amy Grant stepped down as the co-hosts of CMA Country Christmas. Daigle, a Christian artist, and country singer Jordan Davis stepped up to serve as co-hosts this year (2025).

Daigle, a Lake Charles, Louisiana native, performed a jazzy version of “America the Beautiful” during Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. More recently, she and Davis presented an award together at the 2025 CMA Awards.

- Riley Green
- Megan Moroney

The legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band joined Daigle for her CMA Country Christmas performance.
Like Daigle, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band is from Louisiana, specifically New Orleans. The band is one of the most well-known and longest-standing jazz groups in the country, having been founded in the 1960s. President George W. Bush awarded the band the National Medal of Arts in 2006.
When they united onstage for CMA Country Christmas, Daigle and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band delivered a magical medley of festive tunes. The medley included “Jingle Bells,” “What Child Is This?” and “Winter Wonderland.” Their performance had a distinctly New Orleans vibe, with co-host Jordan Davis (another Louisiana native), saying they brought a little dose of “Creole Christmas” to the show.
