Kelly Clarkson & Brett Eldredge Ring in Holidays on “Under The Mistletoe”
In another duet we never knew we needed, Kelly Clarkson has teamed up with country singer Brett Eldredge for a new holiday single. They just released their song “Under The Mistletoe,” getting a head start on the holiday season. It also comes with a cute lyric video.
“Under The Mistletoe” rolls in with big drums and cheery guitar chirps. Kelly sings of being in a crowded room, always returning her attention to the same person. As her eyes fill with tears at her memories of them, she confesses her love and desire for a kiss. The verses set the stage perfectly, while the chorus is one of the catchiest we’ve heard in any holiday song. Brett takes on the second verse, admitting he feels the same. It’s an irresistible song that deserves to become a seasonal classic.
It comes with a simple but sweet lyric video. With the festive color scheme, candy canes, and sprigs of Christmas tree, it has the holiday vibe on point.

More Holiday Music from Kelly Clarkson
This isn’t Kelly’s first time gifting fans with Christmas music, and it certainly won’t be the last. Going back to her American Idol days, Kelly sang covers of “Oh, Holy Night” and “My Grown Up Christmas List.” In 2011, she covered “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” later including it on her 2012 greatest hits compilation. Also in 2012, Kelly joined Blake Shelton on his holiday album, singing on “There’s A New Kid In Town.”
In October 2013, Kelly released her stunning Christmas album, Wrapped In Red, filled with both covers and originals. It gave us singles like “Underneath The Tree” and the title track. In 2017, Kelly shared her original holiday single, “Christmas Eve.” And just last year, Kelly joined John Legend on an updated version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.”
Upcoming Album Due in 2021
Kelly Clarkson is currently working on her next studio album, the follow-up to 2017’s Meaning Of Life. It will be her first following her unexpected divorce from Brandon Blackstock, for which she filed last June. As such, Kelly has stated her new album will be very personal. In recent interviews, Kelly described the new direction, and one song in particular:
This next record… this will probably be the most personal one I’ve ever released. The whole record is basically every emotion you experience from the beginning of a relationship to the end of what it is now. And it’s been very therapeutic for me. It’s very honest. There’s one that my kids sing in the car – cause I’m going through mixes – and I’m just like… this is weird. Like, it’s your relationship! I’ve never written about my life to where… My kids are, like, singing along…
Of course, her kids are only four and six, so they don’t really understand what they’re singing along to. But it sounds like the lyrics divulge a lot, and Kelly’s fans may notice the song’s meaning.
Kelly previosly released the single “I Dare You” — in multiple languages — last spring, though it’s unclear if that will still be on the album. She had also mentioned recording a mystery duet, and, at least as of May, it was expected to be the next single. But a lot has changed, and the many songs Kelly had recording prior to the divorce may no longer fit with her upcoming album.
So, when will we hear the album? Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, it’s no longer on the table for 2020. Fans will have to wait until sometime in 2021 before we’ll get the new record. After all, a lot has changed for Kelly this year, and she’s still busy with her many other jobs, too!
