Grammy-winning pop icon Christina Aguilera marked a major career milestone with a festive television event as Christina Aguilera: Christmas in Paris aired on CBS on December 22. The holiday concert special celebrates the 25th anniversary of her beloved album My Kind of Christmas and presents a music-first experience set against one of the world’s most romantic backdrops.
Filmed in Paris before an intimate audience, the special features live performances staged near the Musée du Quai Branly, with glimpses of the Eiffel Tower adding to the festive atmosphere. Rather than relying on heavy visual spectacle, the show focuses on Aguilera’s powerful vocals, elegant staging, and timeless holiday songs, alongside select tracks from her wider catalogue. Guest appearances by Sheila E. and French singer Yseult add depth to the performance, while short cinematic interludes across Paris reflect on themes of artistry longevity motherhood and reinvention.
For viewers who missed the CBS broadcast or do not have cable access, the concert special can be streamed for free through platforms offering trial access. These include Paramount+ FuboTV DIRECTV and Hulu+ Live TV all of which carry CBS programming. Sling TV may also offer discounted viewing options depending on the plan and region. Viewers are encouraged to review trial terms before subscribing.
Designed as a standalone holiday event rather than a teaser for a new album or tour, Christmas in Paris stands out for its stripped-back presentation and emphasis on live music. It offers a calm elegant alternative to traditional holiday specials and remains available on demand through participating streaming services while free trials last.
