Although Trisha Yearwood had recorded with her husband Garth Brooks before and sang backing vocals on many of his songs, this album is their first joint album. It is a mix of familiar favorites and some new songs, however only some of this song are duets. It was released on November 11, 2016, the same day that Brooks' 10-disc box set, The Ultimate Collection, was released via Target.[3] A Walmart exclusive that bundled Christmas Together with Brooks' new album Gunslinger was released a week later.[4]
The album debuted at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums and No. 2 on the Top Holiday Albums chart, with 21,000 copies sold in its first week.[5] It has sold 194,800 copies in the United States as of November 2017.[6]
The Walmart exclusive bundled with Gunslinger debuted at No. 14 with 6,600 copies sold,[7] and reached No. 3 on that chart the following week, selling 23,000 copies that week.[4] The bundle has sold 81,700 copies as of January 2017.[8]
