The special, titled "Kelly Clarkson's Cautionary
Christmas Music Tale," is also set to include country stars
Blake Shelton, Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood, NBC said
Wednesday.
The show is a comedic musical approach take on the meaning of
Christmas, the network said. In the story, Clarkson schemes to
boost her popularity with a holiday special but ends up learning
an important lesson.
The featured songs are from the Grammy-winning pop star's newly
released Christmas album, "Wrapped in Red," with classics
including "Silent Night" and "White Christmas."
Other guests include Danica Patrick, Heidi Klum and Jay Leno.
Clarkson's special is set to air at 10 p.m. EST on Dec. 11.
Clarkson, 31, also had personal news to announce this week. The
original "American Idol" winner said she and husband Brandon
Blackstock are expecting their first child together.
Clarkson and Blackstock were married last month. Blackstock is
the son of Clarkson's manager, Narvel Blackstock, and McEntire's
stepson.
