Kelly Clarkson delivered us a brand new holiday song called “Christmas Isn’t Canceled (Just You)” last month, which sparked interest that the Grammy winner could have another Christmas album on the way.  As it turns out, that was a correct assumption, and guess what?  It’s out now!

When Christmas Comes Around… the second holiday album, following 2013’s Wrapped in Red, dropped at midnight and features a stellar collection of holiday classics mixed in with some modern favorites and a couple of originals — sprinkled with a few special guests!

Kelly’s powerful vocals play up tunes like “Merry Christmas Baby”, “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”, “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” and “Jingle Bell Rock,” and she’s joined by Ariana Grande on “Santa, Can’t You Hear Me”, Chris Stapleton for the duet “Glow”, and Brett Eldredge for “Under The Mistletoe”.

Check out the full tracklist below and listen to the album wherever you stream music (including Apple Music and Spotify), and buy the album at Amazon or KellyClarksonMerch.com.

The holidays are a lot different this year, but leave it up to Disney to still find a way to bring some magic into your homes! With the Disney Parks on limited capacity guidelines for the past several months, and Disneyland in California still closed, the year’s Wonderful World of Disney Magical Holiday Celebration does not feature new performances live from the theme parks, but instead, memorable performances from holiday’s past!

In this special 5th anniversary edition of the annual event, which airs every Thanksgiving night, Emmy® Award-winning siblings Derek and Julianne Hough return for hosting duties at Disneyland alongside Trevor Jackson of Freeform’s “Grown-ish”, who is joining them from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.  The Houghs have also planned a brilliant opening performance before the team gets into featuring festive flashbacks of performances by Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel, Kelly Clarkson, Jason Derulo, Ciara, Andrea Bocelli, OneRepublic, Pentatonix, Becky G, Shaggy, Boyz II Men and JoJo, Meghan Trainor and Brett Eldredge, and Aloe Blacc.
