27 MILLION WATCHED, BUT NOBODY EXPECTED THIS SUDDEN CHILL. Reba McEntire didn’t just perform at Rockefeller Center; she set the freezing night on fire. She launched with a foot-stomping “Run, Run Rudolph” that had the plaza shaking with pure holiday adrenaline. But just as the cheers reached a fever pitch, the lights softened, and the world went quiet. Kristin Chenoweth stepped into the glow, and Reba’s powerhouse vocals melted into a whisper. Together, their “Silver Bells” wasn’t just a song—it was a time machine. Their harmonies wrapped around the crowd like a warm embrace from a Christmas long gone, leaving tears glistening in the front row. It wasn’t the high notes that haunted you, but the tender silence between them. As the final chord drifted over the city, fans realized the truth: “Some magic you only get to witness once in a lifetime.”

Country legend Reba McEntire had the honor of hosting the Christmas in Rockefeller Center on Wednesday night.

For the first time in her career, Reba McEntire was in the Big Apple for the holiday season. The “Fancy” singer did double duty for the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, acting as host and performer.

The 93rd annual holiday event took place in New York City on Wednesday night (December 3) and aired as a television special. The two-hour show featured performances from the show’s host as well as Michael Buble, Halle Bailey, Kristin Chenoweth, Brad Paisley, Carly Pearce, Gwen Stefani, and more. The show concluded with the lighting of this year’s main attraction – a 75-foot-tall Norway Spruce from East Greenbush, New York, donned with 50,000 LED Christmas lights and topped with a Swarovski star.

Ahead of the broadcast, Reba revealed that she had never been in New York during Christmastime before, making her hosting gig even more special.

Reba performed three songs during the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lighting special.

Reba McEntire has recorded three Christmas albums during her career. For Wednesday’s show, she opted to sing two songs she previously recorded, and one that can’t be found on any of her albums
