I was thrilled when CBS announced Christina Aguilera: Christmas in Paris, a new holiday TV special, would be airing on December 22, 2025 to mark the 25th anniversary of the GRAMMY® Award winner’s holiday album, My Kind of Christmas.
Filmed in October 2025 in front of an intimate audience above the Musée du Quai Branly, Aguilera performs both holiday classics and her career hits against the backdrop of the shimmering Eiffel Tower. (Wish I could’ve been there. I hope she sings “Beautiful.”)
The TV special includes exquisite costume changes and appearances from special guests. Aguilera performs “Little Drummer Girl” with Oakland, California-native and Queen of Percussion, Sheila E., and sings a duet with French singer, Yseult, on “Ave Maria.”
Here is Christina Aguilera and Yseult’s performance of “Ave Maria” from Christmas in Paris (2025):
Between songs and Parisian vignettes, Aguilera shares her thoughts on love, motherhood, reinvention, and her career.
The holiday special will be broadcast on Monday, December 22, 2025 from 9-10pm (Pacific/Eastern Time) on the CBS Television Network and Paramount+.
Aguilera recently released the Christmas in Paris album, which includes live performances from the Eiffel Tower and the Crazy Horse cabaret. Listen to “Lady Marmalade – Live from the Crazy Horse,” where she sings the French refrain, « Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir ? »)
