“CMA Country Christmas” has been removed from Disney+ in the United States. The special was just added to the streaming service in December 2021.
The removal came as a surprise since Disney+ does not announce which titles will be leaving every month like other streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu.
The special featured festive holiday performances from first-time hosts Gabby Barrett (“Silent Night”) and Carly Pearce (“O Holy Night”) who join forces on a special collaboration of “Sleigh Ride.” Other can’t miss moments include Jimmie Allen with Louis York and The Shindellas
(“What Does Christmas Mean”), BRELAND (“The Christmas Song”), Brett Eldredge (Merry Christmas Baby”), Lady A (“Christmas Through Your Eyes”), Pistol Annies (“Snow Globe”), Carrie Underwood (“Mary Did You Know”) and Lainey Wilson (“Christmas Cookies”).
Disney hasn’t provided a reason for the removal however it’s not unusual for holiday specials to have a limited engagement on Disney+, primarily featuring musical performances due to music licensing agreements.
