I'm going to need her to cover Jingle Bell Rock and put out a sexy video for it a la...

She looks great on the cover! Kind of too close and the font looks pretty tacky, but I can deal with it since it compensates well with that amazing tracklist.
I want a studio recording of "O Holy Night" from her so badly.

The C on Clarkson kinda makes the logo look like a penis and balls. However, she looks great on it.

I absolutely can't wait. That cover is gorgeous. This is going to sleigh me (yes, slay is officially spelled sleigh when referencing the Christmas album). My husband is a Christmas music FREAK and he will finally get me to listen to Christmas music. I bet I have him worn out of it by Christmas this go round!

Maybe he meant a good studio recording? ...this would be preferred. Her vocal is beautiful but it honestly sounds like the minions from "Despicable Me" are backing her as the choir for the first half of the song.

Ugh, imagine Kelly's mature soulful voice on a better recording of "O Holy Night" with some bigger belts and a much better backing choir? I do like the a capella aspect.

So glad HYAMLC made it! I absolutely love Christmas albums and I'm dying to get hers. My other wish was "This Christmas".

Love the album cover! It's so classy! The font is a little messy for her name but I'll live! Excited to listen to the new original songs, I'm hoping that despite the country collaborations that it still has a modern sound with a bit of soul to it. Hoping that the track that Shontelle was working on makes it on the album and we get to hear that! Also, do we know which other Christmas albums this is competing with? I recall Mary J Blige, Leona Lewis and Jewel having Christmas albums out this year as well correct?

Kelly's Christmas album, out October 29, 2013. Since the GH era is over, I figured the Christmas album should have its own thread. Yay!! New album, a new thread, and a new era! It sucks that PLU flopped and Tie it Up is kinda floundering, so I'm ready for a new era. I've been wanting a Christmas album from Kelly since American Idol, I can't wait to hear this. I hope she tours for this with a full orchestra or something. Or even perform the Reba/Trisha/Kelly song live at least once, cause that would be f***in fantastic. And I think this is one of her best album covers, she looks gorgeous and elegant and the red really pops. Personally I'm happy they didn't go for an overly cheesy holiday theme or a really religious route.

GOD, she's FLAWLESS. I was expecting something a little bit more festive, but I'm really digging the classy feel they went for. I agree with whoever said it reminds me of Adele's 21. The font is perfection too! I hope the first single is something memorable, we need a new AIWFCIY. Oh, and Narvel, get this girl her own Christmas special PRONTO. She stole the show on Blake's special, she would have one hell of a own one.

I love the cover and the title. I hate cutesy or too generic Christmas titles and Wrapped In Red is cute without being stupid.

I should add every holiday season I always play "My Grown up Christmas List" by Kelly. Love it. Monica did a nice version too, but Kelly's version really takes it. Awesome.

Dear sweet baby Jesus I am THRILLED with everything. Album cover, album title and tracklist are all amazazing. I can die happy knowing that her voice is on Please Come Home For Christmas, my #1 request for this album. All my Kelly prayers have been answered.

For the life of me I can't figure out what Please Come Home for Christmas is. I keep trying to sing it and I revert to I'll Be Home for Christmas. Going to have to youtube this and feel really dumb when I hear it.
Edit: OMG, I am dumb and OMFG, I am LOVING that she covered that song. I hope she just goes to town on it. I wonder if she will release a cover of a well known song (such as PCHFC) for a second single right as the holidays roll in. I doubt it, the timing really only allows one single so I hope her original song is good. I really didn't expect an original for a single.

Going to have to youtube this and feel really dumb when I hear it. I think it's actually called "Please Come Home for Christmas." Choirs will be singing Silent Night Christmas carols by candlelight Please come home for Christmas Please come home for Christmas If not for Christmas, by New Year's nightIIRC, it's a very jazzy-type Christmas song. Waltz-like.

I came across this:
Kelly Clarkson “Wrapped in Red” official tracklist:
01. Wrapped In Red (Original Track) 02. Silent Night (feat. Reba McEntire & Trisha Yearwood) 03. I’ll Be Home for Christmas 04. Under the Tree (Original Track) 05. Blue Christmas 06. Winter Dream (Original Track) 07. All I Want for Christmas Is You 08. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas 09. Ave Maria 10. Baby, It’s Cold Outside (feat. Ronnie Dunn) 11. White Christmas 12. Run Rudolph Run 13. Please Come Home for Christmas
I wonder if "I'll be home.." is the same as the one on iTunes Sessions and Greatest Hits (how often does the label want to sell the song?!) It must be a new version since Kurstin (Honestly <3) produces the whole thing and Kelly once said she would've sung it differently if she knew it was gonna be released as a single...
Even though I love it, I do prefer this version (I loved her raid hair btw):
