With Christmas around the corner, we’re all feeling the urge to blast some snowy tunes. Christina Aguilera has rocked up right on schedule, releasing a brand new cover of The Sound of Music classic, “My Favorite Things,” just in time for the festive season. And we dare say that this genre-twisting rendition is better than the movie’s original!
Christina’s official music video, filmed live at the Eiffel Tower, has already amassed an eye-watering 1.5 million views since first hitting YouTube just twelve days ago. Music Man readers can listen to the new song and watch the magic unfold in the video below…
On a stage lined with gold-lit Christmas trees, decked with a full orchestra and a scattering of snow-gowned backing dancers, Christina steps into the limelight for a verse that sets the record straight: this star may not have released any new music since 2022’s non-charting album, “Aguilera,” but her vocals remain just as flawless as those early singles which made her a star.
As Christina unleashes her second verse, she sparkles the melody with twists of her own, each ad-lib and bluesy reimagination stamping Christina’s unique and unforgettable style on the classic. And she serves it all like a pop goddess: buttery vocals, butterfly lashes, and blonde bombshell aesthetic coming together to craft one of the most mesmerising music vids of Christmas ’25.
She doesn’t stop there, however. Each song segment takes this modern revamp to grand new heights; each verse woven with elements of mystery, awe, and festive magic as Christina pays respect to the original whilst making the hit entirely her own. R&B beats translate the tune into the sounds of our century, while Christina’s vocal agility knows no bounds as she experiments and improvises throughout.
But why cover a Christmas song, especially this late into her career? “My Favorite Things” is ushering in a new era for Christina, who is set to drop her brand new Christmas concert film in the coming weeks. Titled “Christina Aguilera: Christmas in Paris,” this ‘cinematic experience’ celebrates the 25th anniversary of Christina’s own festive album, “My Kind of Christmas,” with the star hinting at more holiday music to come.
We’ll let Christina share her seasonal excitement in her own words, as posted on Instagram: “When the magic of Christmas meets the magic of Paris… something truly extraordinary happens. I can’t wait to share this holiday season with you.”
Christina’s soaring, genre-bending take on “My Favorite Things” proves she still commands the spotlight — and the Eiffel Tower video is a festive triumph. Want to explore the song and watch the performance? Discover more via the useful links below.
