Lady A to host CMA Country Christmas in 2026

The country music group Lady A is set to host the CMA Country Christmas special for the first time in 2026. In addition to hosting, the trio will perform during the annual holiday event.

The announcement comes as band member Charles Kelley continues to undergo treatment for bone marrow cancer. Kelley previously shared that while his treatments are working as doctors hoped, the side effects have been physically demanding, causing constant aches and fatigue. The group recently released the song “Bigger Picture” following his diagnosis.
