Billy Ray Cyrus is letting his festive spirit crowned by rock and roll charm. The country icon, sharing a new video clip of his jolly rendition of ‘Run Rudolph Run’ that he calls family, love, and happiness over the holidays, considers it a tribute.The accompanying post depicts a slowly but surely, this one’s been a hope for the future and followers have reacted nicely to it, but at the same time, it brings up the discussion of his family relations which are still a point of controversy.

Billy Ray Cyrus said, “This one was made with love” in a way, referring to his new release implicitly. ‘Merry Christmas to the family, love, and joy! May this find you where you are.’ He finished up sharing a teaser of ’26 is gonna rock’ and urged to ‘Dream BIG!!!’ while also tagging director Dustin Kupish. The video consists of a wild, guitar-driven performance that perfectly matches Cyrus’s iconic style, while also infusing a little bit of Chuck Berry’s spirit into the eventually classic Christmas song.

The comments section witnessed a lot of positive reactions, as most fans were already in the mood for celebration. “WOW! I love this song and reel Billy Ray!” one user told the story and also sent his and his wife’s holiday wishes. The other user said, “Awesome version. Love it!!!” and that’s the voice of many others praising the energetic nature of the track.

However, there were a few comments that brought to the surface the more complex side of Cyrus’s public family life. One user wrote in Portuguese, which translates to, “My God… Billy and Elizabeth together… good good clip… but a family divided 4 years not speaking father Billy and children Trace and Brandi and Chris… lamentable… moments of positives children????? Billy far from children….” This observation points to the long-anticipated and often-discussed estrangement between Billy Cyrus and some of his older children, a narrative that is still very much in the public eye, even during the cheerful holiday posts. Noah Cyrus has also been a topic of public discussion.

One user commented, “Very, very cute! Love Miley’s Guitars, Noah’s Western Boots, Braison’s Barn!” hinting that the video might be very subtly showcasing Cyrus’s famous kids and their interests. Another fan simply could not wait to see him live and hence wrote, “We are on our way to you tonight! Will be at the Ryman! 🎸”

There is no doubt that Cyrus is calling for an optimistic and future-oriented message. By marrying a rock and roll Christmas anthem with a promise for 2026, he is, in effect, using the holiday to refresh himself and his art. The post is simultaneously a Christmas card and a softly made announcement of the new projects that have been under wraps. Nonetheless, just as it happens with celebrities whose families are continuously subject to media scrutiny, the celebrations cannot be totally disconnected from the past. The reactions although mainly festive, are imbued with the weight of that duality—recognition of the art and interrogation of the artist. Presently, Billy Ray Cyrus is spreading a bit of Christmas cheer and is also betting on a great year ahead in rock. His recent activities include an intimate music therapy benefit and a heartfelt holiday duet with Dolly Parton. He also shared an intimate rehearsal moment with Elizabeth Hurley ahead of 2026. Furthermore, he recently celebrated Miley’s engagement with a nod to Dolly Parton.
