Seven-time Grammy Award winner and five-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Carrie Underwood recently released the track list and special guests for her first-ever Christmas album, “My Gift,” available globally on digital and CD Sept. 25 and on red vinyl Oct. 30. In anticipation of the fall album, Underwood has also released the new original song, “Let There Be Peace,” which is available as an instant grat track when pre-ordering the digital album here.

“My Gift” features a combination of beloved traditional favorites celebrating the spiritual nature of the holiday, as well as several originals. Two of the new original songs are written by Underwood, frequent collaborator Brett James (“Jesus, Take the Wheel,” “Something In The Water”), and her “Cry Pretty” co-producer David Garcia. In addition to a very special appearance by Underwood’s 5-year-old son, Isaiah Fisher, on the holiday classic that inspired the album title, “Little Drummer Boy,” “My Gift” also features her first collaboration with Grammy, Emmy, Oscar and Tony awards-winner John Legend, on the original track “Hallelujah,” written by Legend and Toby Gad (“All of Me”).
