Kylie Christmas is the thirteenth studio album, and first Christmas album, by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It was released on 13 November 2015 by Parlophone. Following the release of her twelfth studio album, Kiss Me Once, Minogue announced her departure with Parlophone, and her management deal with American label, Roc Nation. Minogue signed an exclusive one-album deal with Parlophone to release Kylie Christmas, with distribution through Warner Music Group worldwide and Warner Bros. Records in the United States. A Christmas music album consisting of thirteen songs and three bonus tracks, Kylie Christmas contains both cover versions and original songs.
Three singles were released from Kylie Christmas. "Only You" was released as the lead single on 9 November 2015, a duet with British actor and singer, James Corden. "100 Degrees", a duet with Minogue's sister Dannii was promoted on 24 November and a remix of "Every Day's Like Christmas" was released on 2 December 2015. Minogue performed a one-off concert show held at entertainment venue Royal Albert Hall, London, on 11 December to mark the release of the album. Upon its release, Kylie Christmas received generally mixed reviews from music critics. Many complimented the album's production and the original material while some others criticised Minogue's lack of innovation and delivery, alongside the duets.
On 25 November 2016, Kylie Christmas was reissued as an expanded version subtitled the Snow Queen Edition. It includes six new songs, including a collaboration with British singer-songwriter Mika. The reissue was supported by two more performances at the Royal Albert Hall venue in London.
