Kelly Clarkson – When Christmas Comes Around… Again – Target Exclusive Vinyl Record

When Christmas Comes Around… Again expands Kelly Clarkson’s 2021 holiday album into a seventeen-song vinyl program that combines original material, familiar standards, major duets, and later seasonal recordings. The “Again” edition opens with “You for Christmas,” immediately distinguishing the deluxe sequence from the original release. Clarkson approaches holiday music with the full range of her pop and soul voice, moving comfortably between bright celebration, adult reflection, romantic disappointment, and the warmth of communal tradition.

The early sequence places “Sleigh Ride” beside the original “Merry Christmas Baby,” then follows with “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.” That contrast demonstrates the album’s design: well-known melodies provide instant recognition, while Clarkson’s own songs allow more specific emotional storytelling. “Christmas Isn’t Canceled (Just You)” turns a breakup into a declaration that one painful relationship will not be allowed to claim the season, balancing humor, force, and the singer’s gift for a soaring chorus.

“Merry Christmas to the One I Used to Know” examines the quieter aftermath of separation, while “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” restores brisk party energy. “Glow” brings Chris Stapleton into a warm original duet, and “Santa Baby” lets Clarkson play with a more theatrical standard. The record’s shifts are purposeful rather than random. Holiday gatherings can contain nostalgia, loneliness, romance, family noise, and private memories at once, and the program makes room for that entire emotional range.

“Santa, Can’t You Hear Me” pairs Clarkson with Ariana Grande, joining two agile voices in a song whose vocal fireworks serve a genuine plea for connection. “Last Christmas” and “Jingle Bell Rock” return to widely known material before “Blessed” and “Christmas Come Early” slow the pace. Clarkson avoids singing every standard the same way; some arrangements are built for exuberance, while others give her room to shape a lyric with restraint before opening into the large notes listeners expect.

The final stretch includes “Under the Mistletoe” with Brett Eldredge, followed by “All I Want for Christmas” and “Christmas Eve.” These later additions help the deluxe edition feel like a broader survey of Clarkson’s seasonal catalog rather than a simple reissue with one extra single. Duets add contrasting timbres, originals provide a contemporary voice, and standards connect the set to older holiday traditions. The seventeen tracks support both attentive listening and a full-room seasonal playlist.

This Target-exclusive vinyl edition presents When Christmas Comes Around… Again on a retailer-specific red marble pressing. The natural marbling may vary slightly from the product image, while the exact UPC identifies the edition and its complete track sequence. It is a substantial holiday release for Clarkson listeners who want the expanded program in a physical format, combining vocal showcase moments with songs that acknowledge celebration does not erase complicated memories. The result is festive without requiring every track to express the same mood.
