Carrie Underwood performed several hymns and Christmas carols as part of the HBO MAX release of “My Gift,” a Christmas special based on her holiday album.
The album dropped in 2020, but the country megastar continues to celebrate Christ as the reason for the season.

Tracks include “Joyful, Joyful,” “O Holy Night,” “Away in a Manger,” and “Mary, Did You Know?” among other popular Christmas carols.
“I love that line, ‘Bless all the dear children in thy tender care.’ Children are truly our greatest gift, and for this album, ‘My Gift,’ I had the pleasure of sharing the thing that I love doing most in the world, singing, with one of the people I love beyond measure, my son, Isaiah,” Underwood said.
Isaiah joined her for “Little Drummer Boy.”
“‘Little Drummer Boy’ is a central song in ‘My Gift.’ That’s where the title of the album came from, and it’s one of my favorite Christmas songs. I started thinking about what would make it extra special, so I have a very special duet partner,” Underwood said. “He loves to sing, and that is so his personality. He’ll make crafts, or he’ll do things for you, and he’s like, ‘Didn’t I do a good job? Didn’t I do my best? Are you proud of me?’ And it’s the sweetest thing. And I just thought his sweet little voice would sound perfect. If nothing else, I will have this for the rest of my life. I think it’s the perfect piece of the puzzle for this whole album.”
