If you missed it while getting buried under December chaos, here’s the festive catch-up.
Gabby Barrett took a very East Coast kind of spotlight this year, co-hosting and performing at the National Christmas Tree Lighting in Washington, D.C. The annual holiday tradition aired earlier this month and featured Barrett stepping into full holiday-moment mode right outside the White House.
She shared hosting duties with Matthew West and joined a stacked lineup that included The Beach Boys, Brett Young, Jon Pardi, and more. Barrett’s performance leaned classic and understated, delivering “Mary, Did You Know?” backed by the U.S. Navy Band Commodores Jazz Ensemble. It was polished, reverent, and exactly the right energy for a cold-night-in-December broadcast.
The performance spotlights her Carols and Candlelight (Deluxe) project, which quietly expanded her holiday catalog without trying to reinvent Christmas. If you’re the type who likes your seasonal music sincere rather than sparkly, this one fits nicely into the rotation.
The full special is streaming now on Great American Family via Pure Flix through the end of January, making it a solid post-holiday watch when New England winter is still very much doing its thing.
