She later returned to The Voice stage as well, performing “You for Christmas” during the Season 26 finale.
As for her Kellyoke performance of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” viewers were blown away by how effortlessly Clarkson delivered the emotional ballad live—powerful yet restrained, familiar yet unmistakably her own.
“I don’t think there’s another artist who can sing notes like this with so much ease and still keep it tasteful and subtle,” another commented. “Kelly Clarkson is a legend—end of story.”
A third fan summed it up simply: “I’ve run out of words for how much joy her voice brings me. Thank you, Kelly.”
Once again, Kelly Clarkson proved that when it comes to holiday music, her voice feels like a gift all its own.
