Welcome, friends! We’re so glad you’re here with us for A Mat & Savanna Christmas. This season means a lot to our family—it's a time to slow down, reconnect, and remember what matters most.
Tonight’s music is our way of sharing a little light, a little joy, and a reminder that hope is always within reach. We truly hope something you hear brings peace to your heart and helps you feel the love of this season in a real and personal way.
Thank you for spending part of your Christmas with us. It means more than you know.
Mat & Savanna Shaw
Mat & Savanna Shaw are a father–daughter duo from Utah whose musical journey began unexpectedly in 2020, when a simple video of the two singing The Prayer at home went viral. What started as a way for Savanna to stay connected with her choir friends during the pandemic quickly resonated with millions worldwide. Their sincerity, warmth, and message of hope sparked a global following almost overnight.
Their debut album Picture This became a breakout success. It reached #1 on the iTunes Pop Album chart, and also rose to the top of Billboard’s Classical Album chart, even appearing on the Billboard 200 at #54 — a remarkable achievement for independent artists releasing music from their home. They have been recognized as the first father-daughter duo ever to chart a #1 album in Billboard’s Classical category. Their social media presence has since grown into a vibrant, international community, with their music videos and collaborations garnering millions of views and press coverage around the world.
Major outlets have praised the Shaws for their uplifting musical presence. Good Morning America described them as “bringing hope,” and Kelly Clarkson called them “incredibly gifted.” Despite their rapid rise, Mat and Savanna remain grounded in their purpose: to share hope, spread joy, and bring families together through music. Their Christmas concerts have become a beloved tradition — a celebration of light, connection, and the spirit of the season.

Guest Artists
Life in 3D is a sibling vocal trio—Daylon, Daura, and Devon Veater—whose signature three-part harmonies first emerged at home, singing together during chores and gathering around the piano.

Today, Life in 3D has become a rising vocal group with a remarkable online presence, including more than 640,000 followers on Instagram, over 666,000 followers on TikTok, and a fast-growing YouTube channel with over 590,000 subscribers and multiple videos reaching into the millions. Their sound is defined by sincerity, tight harmony, and a family-centered warmth that resonates deeply with listeners around the world.
Life in 3D continues to create music that lifts, inspires, and brings people together through the power of harmony.
