Reba McEntire & Rex Linn Share a Cozy, Joy-Filled Christmas as They Decorate Their Dazzling Tree
Christmas is extra special this year for Reba McEntire and her fiancé, Rex Linn, and the country icon is inviting fans into their holiday joy with a heartwarming glimpse of their festive home.
As the holiday season settles in, the Happy’s Place star shared a delightful video showing the couple decorating their Christmas tree together — with Rex happily playing the role of Reba’s favorite “elf.” The moment feels especially meaningful as the couple celebrates one year of being engaged, after Linn proposed on Christmas Eve 2024.
Now starring together on Season 2 of Happy’s Place, where their characters Bobbie and Emmett have officially begun dating, McEntire and Linn’s on-screen chemistry has fans swooning. Off camera, though, their real-life romance is just as sweet — and Christmas has become the perfect backdrop for this new chapter.
From signing holiday cards as “The Tots” — affectionately known as Tater Tot (Reba) and Sugar Tot (Rex) — to enjoying festive holiday dates, the couple is fully embracing the spirit of the season. Reba wasted no time after Thanksgiving, gathering loved ones and recruiting Rex to help bring her Christmas vision to life.
The result? A truly dazzling Christmas tree, bursting with colorful lights, sparkling ornaments, and joyful energy. In the YouTube video, Reba climbs a ladder to place the finishing touch — a glowing angel tree topper — while Rex stands close, making sure she’s steady and safe. When the angel lights up, the room erupts in cheers, officially ushering in Christmas.
Fittingly, Reba paired the moment with her latest holiday single, a lively cover of “Run Run Rudolph,” writing, “It’s time to decorate and I’ve got your soundtrack covered!” With three Christmas albums already in her legendary catalog, Reba’s voice remains a timeless part of the holiday season.
Christmas has always held a special place in McEntire’s heart. Growing up in Oklahoma, decorating the tree was a joyful — and sometimes chaotic — family tradition. She fondly recalls tossing tinsel everywhere with her sister, proudly admiring a tree that others might have called a mess.
“It looked terrible, but we didn’t care,” Reba once laughed. “Mama just let us do it.”
Today, that same childlike joy still shines through — only now it’s shared with the love of her life. In a world that often moves too fast, Reba McEntire and Rex Linn’s Christmas reminds us that the season is about warmth, laughter, and love — and sometimes, a little sparkle makes it even better. 🎄✨
