Carrie Underwood fans, mark your calendars because the superstar is bringing her Christmas special to HBO Max on December 3.

My Gift: A Christmas Special From Carrie Underwood will bring the seven-time Grammy winner’s first-ever full-length Christmas album, My Gift, to life with performances of traditional favorites and new holiday classics.

Underwood will perform alongside her band as well as a live orchestra and choir, conducted by Underwood’s longtime friend, Emmy Award-winning musical director Rickey Minor.

“I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Playtone and HBO Max to bring My Gift to life,” said Underwood. “Just like the album, I hope this special will help bring some much-needed joy and become part of the soundtrack to people’s holiday festivities this year as it streams throughout the season and beyond.”

“This special is an homage to the classic, timeless holiday specials, highlighting the vocal gifts of the incomparable Carrie Underwood,” says producer Gary Goetzman. “She’s an artist who transcends genres and shows here why audiences love her around the world.”

My Gift: A Christmas Special From Carrie Underwood will be available to stream starting Thursday, December 3 on HBO Max.
