Watch Carrie Underwood’s Breathtaking Live Performance of “O Come All Ye Faithful”

Country superstar Carrie Underwood has gifted fans a special holiday treat with the release of her live performance of the beloved Christmas hymn “O Come All Ye Faithful.” Just in time for the festive season, Underwood shared the beautifully filmed video on December 18, offering audiences another chance to experience one of the standout moments from her holiday special.

The performance originally appeared in her HBO Max production My Gift: A Christmas Special from Carrie Underwood, which premiered in 2020 following the release of her first-ever Christmas album, My Gift. The album features eight classic carols alongside three original songs and quickly became a fan-favorite for the holidays.

A Historic Hymn Brought to Life by a Modern Voice

“O Come All Ye Faithful” dates back centuries, with its earliest printed version appearing in a hymnal published by John Francis Wade in the mid-1700s.
The song was initially composed with four verses, but over time it expanded to eight and was translated into multiple languages. In 1841, English Catholic priest Frederick Oakeley created the English version known today across the world.

Underwood’s rendition captures both the reverence and beauty of the hymn, blending traditional elements with her signature vocal power.

A Stunning Performance from My Gift Holiday Special

In the newly released video, Carrie Underwood takes the stage wearing a radiant white tulle gown that sparkles beneath soft lighting. The setting is intentionally simple to keep focus on her voice, which rises gracefully with each verse of the classic hymn.

The performance highlights the emotional warmth and spiritual depth that made My Gift such a memorable holiday special.

A Holiday Season Full of Surprises

Just days before releasing “O Come All Ye Faithful,” Underwood surprised churchgoers in Tennessee with an unannounced live performance of:

• “O Holy Night”

• “All Is Well”

The congregation was stunned when the Grammy-winning singer walked on stage, turning an ordinary Christmas program into an unforgettable evening.

Her recent string of holiday performances has left fans wondering whether more musical surprises may arrive before Christmas Day.
