The Recording Academy dives into the ever-expanding universe of Christmas music with a new holiday special “A Very Grammy Christmas,” slated to air Dec. 5 on CBS with performances by Ariana Grande, Pharrell Williams, Tim McGraw and Maroon 5.
In addition, the show will be the platform for a key bit of 2015 Grammy Award news with the unveiling of the album-of-the-year nominees.
Other performers will be added for the hour-long show to be taped Nov. 18 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
The Christmas special supplants previous years’ prime-time specials revolving around the newest batch of Grammy nominations, which this year will be announced — except for the album category — on the morning of Dec. 5.
“A Very Grammy Christmas” will feature live performances of holiday songs plus current hits, and guests also will discuss favorite holiday memories and what being nominated for a Grammy means to them.
Tickets to the taping of the special can be found at Ticketmaster.com.
