If you grew up in a household like mine, you probably have a list of Christmas classics that define the holiday season for your family. I have a special fondness for the ballads that have stood the test of time and bring back nostalgic feelings every time they play.
One such timeless hit is “The Little Drummer Boy,” and Carrie Underwood’s rendition of it touched my heart. She performed a heartwarming duet with her adorable little boy, making the song even more special. The lyrics of this beloved tune have their roots in a traditional Czech carol, and it has been covered by many artists over the years, including Bing Crosby, Johnny Cash, and Justin Bieber.
For me, though, Carrie Underwood’s 2020 cover of “The Little Drummer Boy” holds a special place. Recorded alongside her then-5-year-old son, Isaiah, the song captures the essence of Christmas and showcases their undeniable bond. Carrie Underwood, a country music icon, has always captivated audiences with her talent, and when she announced a Christmas album, fans couldn’t contain their excitement.
The album is a delightful mix of Christmas classics and original compositions by Carrie herself. However, the standout track, at least for me, is none other than “The Little Drummer Boy.” In this truly special duet, Carrie and Isaiah share the spotlight, and Isaiah’s vocals are absolutely captivating. Don’t believe me? Check out the heartwarming performance in the video below:
Wow! If that doesn’t put you in the Christmas spirit, I don’t know what will. This duet is a beautiful reminder of the joy and love that the holiday season brings. It’s moments like these that make Christmas even more magical.
