It's the most wonderful time of year in Nashville and The Grand Ole Opry, country music's biggest stage, is celebrating with a musical Christmas special. NBC's "Christmas at the Opry," hosted by Wynonna Judd, will be spreading holiday cheer starting on Dec. 7.

Host Wynonna Judd, known for songs "Mary, Did You Know?," "Burnin' Love" and "No One Else on Earth," is one of the most awarded female country musicians in history—and it's her first time hosting an Opry special.
