Nashville, Tennessee — The holiday season in Music City just wouldn’t be the same without it. Amy Grant and Vince Gill, two of country and contemporary Christian music’s most cherished voices, have officially announced the 15th Annual “Christmas at the Ryman” residency for December 2025 — a milestone celebration of faith, family, and festive joy that has become one of Nashville’s most treasured holiday traditions.
Set against the backdrop of the historic Ryman Auditorium, the 2025 series will feature 12 unforgettable performances, filling the legendary stage with timeless Christmas classics, heartfelt originals, and those signature harmonies that only Amy Grant and Vince Gill can deliver. For fifteen years, their annual residency has drawn fans from around the world, creating an atmosphere that’s part concert, part homecoming, and pure Christmas magic.
“This show has truly become a part of our lives — and of Nashville’s holiday season,” said Amy Grant. “We feel so blessed to return each year and share this music with families who’ve made it part of their own traditions.”
Vince Gill, who has graced the Ryman stage countless times throughout his storied career, echoed the sentiment with his trademark warmth. “The Ryman is one of the most special places on earth,” he said. “When you fill it with Christmas songs, love, and laughter — there’s just nothing like it.”
Each year, “Christmas at the Ryman” offers audiences a blend of classic carols, spiritual hymns, and heartwarming stories that capture the very soul of the season. From the joyful sparkle of “Jingle Bell Rock” to the reverent stillness of “O Holy Night,” Amy and Vince’s performances are a perfect balance of celebration and reflection. Their onstage chemistry — built not just on years of musical partnership but on genuine love and respect — makes every moment feel deeply personal.
Fans describe the experience as “like stepping into a Christmas card.” The Ryman, adorned with twinkling lights and evergreen garlands, becomes a sanctuary of joy and nostalgia. Families, couples, and lifelong fans return year after year, often making the show the centerpiece of their holiday festivities. Many who attended the very first performance fifteen years ago are already planning to be there for this milestone season.
Both Amy Grant and Vince Gill have built remarkable careers that transcend genre and generation. Amy, the six-time Grammy Award winner and “Queen of Christian Pop,” has long used her voice to inspire hope and faith. Vince, with more than 20 Grammy Awards and a reputation as one of the finest vocalists and guitarists in country music, brings a soulful depth that perfectly complements Amy’s ethereal tone. Together, they create an atmosphere that feels both grand and intimate — a musical embrace for the holiday heart.
For Nashville, the announcement marks the official start of the Christmas season. “When Amy and Vince return to the Ryman,” one local radio host said, “that’s when you know the holidays have truly arrived.”
