The Kelly Clarkson Show host donned an elegant blue gown for her soaring performance of her original Christmas tune.
“I don’t need a thing / I sent a letter to you, ooh, ooh On how to make my dreams come true, yeah, yeah / What I want for Christmas / Hasn’t come and I’ve been so blue / Tell me what can I do? Ooh, ooh, oh yeah / Keep the mistletoe (keep the mistletoe) / Unless below, is what I need (what I need) / Santa, can’t you hear me?” Clarkson sang on the tune’s chorus.
“Santa, Can’t You Hear Me” appears on Clarkson’s latest holiday album, When Christmas Comes Around… The album features 15-tracks, including duets with Grande, Brett Eldredge and Chris Stapleton.
