Christmas Cuties: Country Stars' Throwback Holiday Photos

Blake Shelton (here as a tot) loves Christmas so much, he reportedly plays Christmas music all year long.

All dolled up at age 3, Carrie Underwood was already looking like a superstar.

A big fan of tradition, Chris Young, in 1987, says the annual Santa photo was "one of those things you always got excited for."

Long before Kenny Chesney, Jake Owen and his twin brother Jarrod (at age 9) were spending Christmases in the sand in their hometown of Vero Beach, Florida. "I believe that old tree is still there," says the singer.

Darius Rucker (right) and a childhood friend "in our Christmas sweatsuits. Trying to look cool," says the singer. Nice try, guys.

Back when island-loving Kenny Chesney was 5, Santa's lap could beat out a beach any day.

Striking an adorable pose for her holiday portrait, Kellie Pickler, here at age 2, couldn't get any cuter.

Even as a young boy, Brett Eldredge was already channeling Sinatra, getting ready to open gifts dressed in an oh-so-cute tux and cummerbund.

These days Vince Gill is a huge Nashville Predators hockey fan, but back when he was a young boy it was all about football at the holidays.
