Global superstar Christina Aguilera is bringing the “City of Light” to living rooms tonight with the broadcasting debut of ‘Christina Aguilera: Christmas in Paris’. Airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+, this dazzling holiday special celebrates the 25th anniversary of her landmark album ‘My Kind of Christmas’. Filmed against the breathtaking backdrop of the Eiffel Tower—transformed into a shimmering Christmas tree—Aguilera delivers a masterclass in vocal prowess for an intimate audience at the Musée du Quai Branly. Directed by Emmy-winner Sam Wrench, the special is a cinematic journey through holiday staples and career-defining hits, featuring high-energy appearances from legendary percussionist Sheila E. and French star Yseult.
Beyond the spectacular musical performances, the special offers a rare, introspective look at Aguilera’s life and legacy. Between Parisian vignettes, she opens up about motherhood, her evolution as an artist, and the reinvention that has kept her at the top of the charts for three decades. The celebration is accompanied by the live performance album ‘Christmas in Paris’, which is out now on all streaming platforms. Featuring 13 tracks, including a show-stopping mashup of “Express” and “Santa Baby,” the album allows fans to take the magic of the Parisian night home. From her “Crazy Horse” cabaret sequences to a snow-kissed finale beneath the tower lights, Aguilera proves once again why she remains the quintessential voice of her generation.
