The Collingsworth Family’s Christmas by Candlelight is available now. Gaither Music Group released the family’s 2026 concert recording in time for the holiday season, with streaming, CD and DVD options for listeners.

The official track list brings several sides of Christmas together. “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” “Go Tell It on the Mountain” and “O Holy Night” sit alongside “The Nutcracker Suite,” “White Christmas” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” The collection also includes “Jesus, The Light of the World” and “We Are The Reason.”

Family voices, familiar songs

For listeners who follow Southern Gospel family groups, the release offers a seasonal way into the Collingsworths’ music. Gaither credits Bradley Knight with the musical production. The family’s own album page describes a set built around family harmonies, new arrangements and the Christmas traditions they share.

The song choices also give room to the central Christian story of Christmas. A listener can move from a familiar carol to the announcement of Jesus’ birth, then to songs about the hope and light He brings. That range makes the recording useful both for a holiday gathering and for a quieter moment of worship.

Where to hear it

Gaither’s official album link lists streaming and purchase options. The label also says the concert recording will begin airing on television November 18; viewers should check local listings for the actual schedule.

Based on Gaither Music Group’s October 29 announcement and The Collingsworth Family’s official album listing, checked November 10, 2026.
