Kelly Clarkson Announces Upcoming Christmas Special
According to a press release, the special will feature original songs from Clarkson’s album When Christmas Comes Around…, as well as some holiday classics, featuring My Band Y’All, the house band for Clarkson’s talk show.
Clarkson’s fellow coach Ariana Grande will make an appearance for the song “Santa, Can’t You Hear Me,” as well as Brett Eldredge for “Under the Mistletoe.” Other celebrity guests include Jay Leno, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Odom Jr., and Amy Poehler. And let’s not forget Santa Claus himself.
In keeping with the generous nature of Clarkson’s talk show, the Christmas special will also apparently feature “life-changing surprises” for some “everyday heroes.” As Clarkson said in a statement, “No matter what your heart is feeling this holiday season, I hope that this hour brings you joy and happiness exactly where you are.”
