McCollum collaborated with Cody Johnson on the song "Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues" and is set to embark on a tour in 2026. He kicked off the holiday season by performing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" at the CMA Country Christmas special.

The classic holiday song "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" has been covered by various artists over the years, including Dolly Parton, Lady Gaga, and Bruce Springsteen. McCollum's rendition of the song was featured in the Carols Covered Collection on Apple Music.

His early morning performance on Fox News in Austin, Texas, helped prepare him for the CMA Country Christmas event. Fans can catch McCollum's performance on the special on Disney+ and Hulu the day after it airs. Get ready to enjoy McCollum's unique take on this holiday classic.
