UNIVERSAL CITY, Cal - Nov. 4, 2021 - Grammy and Emmy Award-winning global superstar Kelly Clarkson's love for the holiday season is no secret.

From the inspiring duet "Santa, Can't You Hear Me," featuring Ariana Grande, to the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Merry Christmas (to the One I Used to Know), "When Christmas Comes Around... " explores a wide range of holiday emotions and experiences anchored by Clarkson's vocal prowess. The album also features cheerful standout "Glow," featuring Chris Stapleton, and the fabulously bold lead single "Christmas Isn't Canceled (Just You)."
