Merry Christmas, everybody,

than Christmas music.
Amen to that, Lauren.
Now, are y'all ready for our next artist to take the stage?
[ Cheers and applause ]
He's a country-music superstar
who is here to remind us that in just a few days,
the big guy himself is coming to town.

The song "Christmas to Me" is the first holiday song
this country star wrote,
and it is becoming one of my new favorites.
What we love about it is
how he describes what's happening at home
during a simple family Christmas.
Every line paints a warm picture of the people he loves
and the powerful connection he has to the holiday
and what it means to him.
Y'all, please welcome Riley Green.

Riley, that was awesome.
Now, I don't know if y'all know this,
but Lauren is based in New Orleans,
and since I'm from Louisiana, too,
we thought it'd be a great idea
to turn this country Christmas into a Creole Christmas.
And to do just that,
we have brought a band that always brings a joyful,
timeless spirit of Mardi Gras wherever they go.
So, please welcome the Preservation Hall Jazz Band
as they join my co-host, Lauren Daigle, on a Christmas medley
you will never forget.

It's been 13 years
since this vocal group released their first album
of Christmas music, which for fans like me
was way too long a wait.
So, how great is it that this year's holiday gift to us
is a brand-new Christmas album?
Charles, Hillary and Dave,
you just made this time of year even better.
With their original song "Wouldn't Be Christmas"
from their album "On This Winter's Night, Volume 2,"
here is Lady A.

we all let him know exactly what we want for Christmas.
For example, in the movie "A Christmas Story,"
Ralphie wanted an official Red Ryder carbine-action,
200-shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock
and this thing that tells time.
And, Santa, if you're listening,
I'm actually asking for the same exact gift
for Christmas this year.
You'll shoot your eye out, kid.
