Martina Celebrates “Blue Christmas”

Martina McBride helps celebrate her duet with the late Elvis Presley, “Blue Christmas,” with a variety of television appearances.

Martina will kick off the festivities, Dec. 3, with a performance of “Blue Christmas” on ABC-TV’s Good Morning America. The song appears on the recently released CD, Elvis Presley Christmas Duets, which also features Carrie Underwood, Gretchen Wilson and other stars. The same morning, Martina heads to the popular ABC show The View to discuss the video for “Blue Christmas” that places her onstage with Elvis through computer wizardry. Martina will treat The View audience to a performance of “Winter Wonderland,” which appears on her holiday album, White Christmas. The “Blue Christmas” video with Martina and Elvis will also be featured on the NBC special, Greatest Holiday Moments: Song of the Season Countdown, which airs Friday, Dec. 12, at 8 p.m. ET.
