The special marking the 25th anniversary of Aguilera’s beloved My Kind of Christmas holiday album was directed by Emmy-winner Sam Wrench (Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour) and shot in Paris in front of an intimate audience of 250, transporting viewers to a winter-garden terrace above the Musée du Quai Branly.
“Against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower – fashioned into a shimmering Christmas tree – Aguilera delivers an immersive performance with the city skyline as both stage and witness,” reads a description of the special. “As twilight deepens, she moves fluidly through holiday classics and career-defining hits, all captured in a sumptuous vintage-lens glow. Between songs, the film drifts into dreamlike Parisian interludes – where Christina contemplates love, motherhood, reinvention, and the artistry that has defined her journey.”
The film will also feature documentary footage shot around Paris, as well as footage from inside the iconic Crazy Horse cabaret, culminating in the snowy grand finale in front of the Eiffel Tower. Aguilera has been posting teasers for the special over the past week, including one in which she traipses around the base of the Tower while wearing a flowing blonde wig and sparkly party dress cued to Frank Sinatra’s “The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower.”
Christmas in Paris will screen in theaters in the U.S. on Dec. 14 and 21.
