Watch Darius Rucker Perform at CMA Country Christmas 2015

Darius Rucker hit the stage at the 2015 CMA Country Christmas event on Thursday (Dec. 3), helping spread holiday cheer with a performance of "Winter Wonderland."

Rucker sang a swingy, high-energy version of the song in front of a snow-covered scene reminiscent of a holiday snow globe. The singer kept his outfit casual -- jeans and a leather jacket -- and got the band energized during his performance of the classic tune, yelling "Come on,  y'all -- swing it!" between verses. Press play on the video above to watch.

Later in the evening, Rucker dressed up in a dapper suit for a performance of his holiday original, "What God Wants for Christmas," off of his 2014 Christmas album, Home for the Holidays. Rucker co-wrote the track with Frank Rogers and Monty Criswell; the tune's lyrics find the singer wondering, "What do you give someone who gave his only son?" Rucker let the song shine during the event, singing in front of a simple, blue-tinted backdrop; press play below to watch.

The 2015 CMA Country Christmas event featured 20 performances from Nashville's biggest stars, including Mickey Guyton, LeAnn Rimes, Charles Kelley, Dan + Shay, Martina McBride, Kelsea Ballerini and more. Jennifer Nettles hosted the event and also performed four times through the evening.
