Reba McEntire will host the 2025 Christmas in Rockefeller Center special for the first time, which will air live on December 3 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. “I’m really excited to get to go to New York City in December. I’ve never been there in December,” McEntire said. “To see all the Christmas decorations and to get to be a part of the tree lighting ceremony, Rockefeller Center, it’s something that I’ve always wanted to do and I’m honored that they asked me to do it.” In addition to hosting, the 70-year-old country music superstar will also perform throughout the event, with additional artists and special guests to be announced at a later date. As for her plans to combat the cold winter weather in New York City, McEntire says she will “bundle up,” while adding, “I’m going to triple, quadruple layer. I’ll probably have my heated vest on, and all the clothes I can.” (People)
