Country music superstar Brad Paisley<\/a><\/strong> just dropped a brand-new holiday song\u2014and it\u2019s already making spirits bright. His single, \u201cCounting Down the Days,\u201d<\/a> is the official anthem for Hallmark Channel\u2019s<\/a> beloved Countdown to Christmas<\/strong> event<\/a>, the annual programming marathon that has become a holiday tradition for millions of fans.<\/p>\n The country superstar released the track on Wednesday, September 17, across all digital platforms. Co-written with frequent collaborator Chris DuBois<\/strong>, fans caught the first glimpse this morning when Hallmark unveiled its holiday promo during The Today Show\u2019s “Pop Start” segment, and the song is already setting the tone for this year\u2019s lineup of cozy premieres.<\/p>\n Paisley isn\u2019t stopping with one song. He has also co-written two more original tracks for Hallmark\u2019s new movie A Grand Ole Opry Christmas<\/a>, starring Nikki DeLoach<\/strong> (Curious Caterer Mysteries) and Kristoffer Polaha<\/strong> (A Biltmore Christmas). The film debuts on Thanksgiving weekend \u2014 Saturday, Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. ET\/PT on Hallmark Channel and streams the next day on Hallmark+.<\/p>\n RELATED: Beloved \u2018Cedar Cove\u2019 Star Dies<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n In true Opry fashion, Paisley himself will appear in the movie alongside country favorites and familiar Opry faces, making the special feel even more like a family affair.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Hallmark Channel to me is a major part of finding the joy and the spirit of the holidays,\u201d said Paisley of partnering with them for the 2025 holiday season. \u201cWe turn it on and leave it on in our house like\u00a0Christmas tree<\/a>\u00a0lights or decorations, it\u2019s a major part of the atmosphere for us. I loved the challenge of creating that same magic with this music by letting it take you to the same place that these\u00a0movies<\/a>\u00a0and this world Hallmark has built. Can\u2019t wait for you to hear what all we\u2019ve done. Also, knowing the Opry is the setting for one of these movies is very inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n Beyond decking the halls with Hallmark, Paisley is teasing that more new music is on the way. In the meantime, he\u2019s hitting the road with his “Truck Still Works World Tour” in Canada, kicking off Nov. 4 in Abbotsford, BC, and wrapping Dec. 13 in Ottawa.<\/p>\n RELATED: Beloved Hallmark Star Earns Prestigious Honor For Her Philanthropic Work<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Canada Leg of “Truck Still Works World Tour”:<\/p>\n 11-4 Abbotsford, BC Abbotsford Centre “Counting Down the Days” is available to stream now<\/a>, and Hallmark\u2019s full 2025 holiday movie schedule<\/a> is already live.
