The CMT holiday special comes two years after Cody released his first Christmas album, also called A Cody Johnson Christmas.

Tracks featured on the record include a cover of Merle Haggard‘s “If We Make It Through December,” a cover of Willie Nelson‘s “Pretty Paper,” and a personal version of “Silent Night” with his wife, Brandi, and their two daughters, Clara and Cori.

Brandi, Clara, and Cori all appeared on Cody’s CMT Christmas special too, making it extra special.

Watch Cody Johnson Sing “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” On His CMT Christmas Special

When Cody released his Christmas album in 2021, another song he included was his version of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” Cody also performed the song during his televised Christmas special on CMT.

Wanting to give fans a little taste of what to expect on the special, CMT released a “sneak peek” video of Cody singing “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” The video shows Cody performing in a white tux jacket and matching cowboy hat while surrounded by twinkling Christmas lights and festive decorations.

“Very soothing! Well dressed man also!” commented one fan on CMT’s Facebook page.

Another person wrote, “Soooo good!!!!! The absolute best version of this song, I’ve ever heard.”

“Sounds great!!!! Makes me want to go to dinner with my family now even more,” said another fan.

One commenter added, “Classy the Texas way!!! Great. Job.”

CMT said Cody’s rendition of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” was “beautiful,” and we’d have to agree. Enjoy his performance in the video below.
