Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande have been spending plenty of time working together on Season 21 of the hit competition show “The Voice.” Their great banter and incredible vocal showcases have already been on full display on the show, and they’ve continued to give their fans even more amazing gifts as the year goes on. Their newest present for their fans is a duet holiday song titled “Santa, Can’t You Hear Me.”

Clarkson and Grande have both released a handful of holiday songs and duets in the past, giving them ample practice and preparation for their current iconic pairing in “Santa, Can’t You Hear Me.” They have also previously worked together in the music industry, performing a duet of “Respect” by Aretha Franklin on the opening night of the current season of “The Voice.” 

Fans were blown away by how stunning their voices sounded together and how they played off one another. If that wasn’t enough, fans have since been able to watch the women’s friendship blossom as the singing competition progresses. Now, they have another reason to celebrate thanks to Clarkson and Grande.

It’s evident that both Clarkson and Grande are leading women in the world of current pop music and are known for their powerhouse vocal stylings. They both have an incredible range and beautiful tones, making their duet even more thrilling to listen to. While they are both strong on their own, the gentle power of Grande’s voice mixed with Clarkson’s slightly raspy vocals makes for one holiday song that is sure to be played on repeat this holiday season.

Both Clarkson and Grande have shown that they were made to release holiday albums, including both classics and fan favorites as well as several original songs. Clarkson’s first holiday album, “Wrapped in Red,” was released in October 2013. It was full of classic Christmas songs as well as plenty of original songs, including the hit “Underneath the Tree.” The album also featured a duet with country singer Ronnie Dunn and a beautiful rendition of “Silent Night” alongside country artists Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood.

Grande is no stranger to the world of holiday music either, having previously released two EPs titled “Christmas Kisses” and “Christmas & Chill.” Her most popular holiday track to date is “Santa Tell Me,” which was originally released in November 2014. Grande has shown an immense amount of love for these extended plays, even performing a medley of “Santa Tell Me” and songs from “Christmas & Chill” during the last leg of the Sweetener World Tour in 2019. 

The talented artist has also worked on a handful of collaborations during her career, including songs in the mainstream pop world and in the holiday music scene. Some of her most recent collaborations include “Stuck With U” with Justin Bieber, “Rain On Me” with Lady Gaga and a remix of “Save Your Tears” with The Weeknd. Grande was also featured on a remix of Mariah Carey’s 2010 holiday song “Oh Santa!” in December 2020 alongside Jennifer Hudson. In October 2021, fans of Clarkson and Grande were given one of the best presents they could have asked for in the form of a song.
