Carrie Underwood will release her first-ever Christmas album, My Gift, on Sept. 25.
To help spread the Christmas spirit, Carrie has teamed with HBO Max for a holiday special that will be streamed across the platform. Carrie will appear with a live orchestra and choir during the Playtone-produced special, performing a combination of traditional holiday favorites as well as original material from her new album.
“The journey of writing and recording this album started last year when I finished my tour and we could have never anticipated the circumstances we would be in this year,” says Carrie. “Creating this album has been good for my heart, and I’m thrilled to get to share it with the world and to bring it to life with Playtone and HBO Max.”
The special is schedule to shoot this fall, with a release date to be announced soon.
Carrie’s new album will feature a combination of beloved traditional favorites and original material that celebrate Carrie’s faith and the spiritual nature of Christmas.
