Carrie Underwood Reveals ‘My Gift’ Track Listing
What song are you most excited to hear?
Carrie Underwood will bring Christmas classics to life when My Gift debuts on September 25. The release, which marks the Oklahoma native’s first ever Christmas album, will feature holiday favorites like “Silent Night,” “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and others.
The record will also include two special collaborations, as mentioned by the GRAMMY winner on Instagram early Thursday morning (8/27).
“The songs on #MyGift are a mix of Christmas classics that are close to my heart and new songs that I hope will become close to yours. The album also includes a couple of very special guests…I can’t wait for you all to hear “Hallelujah” written by and sung with the incredible @JohnLegend, and a very special version of “Little Drummer Boy” featuring my own little drummer boy, Isaiah. September 25 can’t come soon enough,” she wrote.

Writing and recording for a holiday record has been on Underwood’s to-do list for quite some time. She found the perfect opportunity to dive right in after wrapping her wildly-successful Cry Pretty Tour 360 last year.
“I’ve always wanted to make a Christmas album and it’s been a long time coming,” she shared previously. “I knew this would be my next music project after wrapping my tour last year, and I think it’s turned out to be the perfect time for an album like this, in this period of such personal and spiritual reflection. For me, it’s more important than ever to focus on the true meaning of Christmas in a project like this. Even though it has been a tough year for all of us, sometimes I feel like the greatest realizations can be inspired by the most difficult times, and make us more grateful for the things we do have and for what truly matters.”
Pre-orders of the My Gift CD, with exclusive merchandise, are available here. Fans can also pick up the record on vinyl beginning October 30, with pre-orders beginning soon.
