Christina Aguilera counts down a few of her favorite things in the latest teaser video for the singer’s upcoming international holiday spectacular. “‘My Favorite Things‘ — the first single from my upcoming Christmas special, recorded live from the Eiffel Tower — arrives tomorrow,” Xtina wrote on Monday (Nov. 24) of the first taste of music from Christina Aguilera: Christmas in Paris.

The clip finds Aguilera singing the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic from The Sound of Music while sporting a blonde bombshell look accented by black sheer gloves and a sparkling white bustier festooned with ribbons of pearls. The video also features cameos from ballerinas and an orchestra backing the singer as she belts out the tune made famous by Julie Andrews with the Eiffel Tower visible in the background.

The special marking the 25th anniversary of Aguilera’s beloved My Kind of Christmas holiday album was directed by Emmy-winner Sam Wrench (Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour) and shot in Paris in front of an intimate audience of 250, transporting viewers to a winter-garden terrace above the Musée du Quai Branly.

“Against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower – fashioned into a shimmering Christmas tree – Aguilera delivers an immersive performance with the city skyline as both stage and witness,” reads a description of the special. “As twilight deepens, she moves fluidly through holiday classics and career-defining hits, all captured in a sumptuous vintage-lens glow. Between songs, the film drifts into dreamlike Parisian interludes – where Christina contemplates love, motherhood, reinvention, and the artistry that has defined her journey.”

The film will also feature documentary footage shot around Paris, as well as footage from inside the iconic Crazy Horse cabaret, culminating in the snowy grand finale in front of the Eiffel Tower. Aguilera has been posting teasers for the special over the past week, including one in which she traipses around the base of the Tower while wearing a flowing blonde wig and sparkly party dress cued to Frank Sinatra’s “The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower.”

Christmas in Paris will screen in theaters in the U.S. on Dec. 14 and 21.
