Watch Kelly Clarkson Joyously Perform Her Christmas Song "Underneath the Tree"

With the 2023 NBC holiday specials calendar released, it's time to get festive. And what better way to do that than with a Christmas bop, courtesy of Kelly Clarkson? 

Or shall we say bops, plural. Clarkson has several of them spread across her two holiday albums, Wrapped in Red (2013) and When Christmas Comes Around... (2021). One of the highlights from the first LP is the uptempo, joyous "Underneath the Tree." She's performed the track many times, including when she was a Coach on The Voice in 2020. 

Watch her perform the song (and read the lyrics) further down this post! 

Kelly Clarkson "Underneath the Tree" performance and lyrics 

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree

Tonight, I'm gonna hold you close
Make sure that you know
I was lost before you
Christmas was cold and grey
Another holiday
Alone to celebrate

But then, one day, everything changed
You're all I need
Underneath the tree

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree

I found what I was looking for
A love that's meant for me
A heart that's mine completely
Knocked me right off my feet
And this year I will fall
With no worries at all

'Cause you are near and everything's clear
You're all I need
Underneath the tree

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree

And then, one day, everything changed
You're all I need
Underneath the tree, yeah

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing (Oh, yeah, yeah)
It just wasn't the same (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight (Oh, you're all I need)
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight (Underneath my tree)
You're all that I need (Underneath my tree, yeah)
Underneath the tree, tonight

Oh, you're all I need
Underneath, underneath the tree
