Since releasing Merry Christmas To You in 1987, Reba McEntire has been known for bringing her brand of country cheer to the festive season. The Queen of Country’s early holiday recordings featured her spin on traditional offerings like the giving parable “The Christmas Guest” and the wistful “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”; over the years, her holiday party has expanded to include guests such as Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson as well as newer classics like “Mary, Did You Know?” and the resilient “Hard Candy Christmas”, producing a seasonal marriage of nostalgia and the making of new memories.
