At first, it feels like a simple, quiet performance — just Alan Jackson and a microphone, gently beginning “Let It Be Christmas.” But halfway through, the moment turns magical. His wife and daughters step out one by one, standing beside him, and suddenly the song changes. It softens. It warms. It feels like a family photograph slowly coming to life. No flashing lights, no big production — just a reminder of what Christmas is really about. By the final note, it doesn’t just sound like a song anymore… it feels like home

Alan Jackson Brings Wife & Daughters On Stage For “Let It Be Christmas”

The holidays are all about spending time with your family and Alan Jackson proves this notion to be true while performing in his CMT holiday special, Alan Jackson: Let It Be Christmas.

What did Alan Jackson perform during his Let It Be Christmas special?

During the special, Alan Jackson performed well-known Christmas songs including “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town,” “Silent Night,” “Jingle Bells,” and “Away In A Manger.”

He also sang his self-penned Top 40 hit “Let It Be Christmas” off of his 2002 holiday album of the same name.

The fans were in store for a special surprise during this song! Alan began the song solo and about halfway through, his wife, Denise, and their three young daughters – Mattie, Ali, and Dani – walked onstage to sing along with him.

They were also joined by Nashville’s Belmont University Choir and the W.O. Smith Children’s Choir. In the special, Alan and Denise shared stories and memories of the holidays in their home, which will touch your heart.

This wasn’t the last time he shared the stage with his daughter, Ali.

Fast forward many years, Ali joined her famous father on stage in 2021 to perform his song “You’ll Always Be My Baby,” which he wrote in honor of his three daughters. He wrote “You’ll Always Be My Baby” at the request of his oldest daughter Mattie when she was getting married a few years ago.

“I wrote the song for Mattie’s wedding the summer of 2017, but it was so hard to do. I told ’em, ‘I wrote this for all of you,’” he explained in a media release.

The video features throwback photos of the Jackson family that show Mattie, Ali, and Dani at various stages of growing up.
