Kristin Chenoweth, the pint-sized powerhouse with a voice so angelic it could make Rudolph cry, decided to cap off her Christmas by belting out a tune in front of a fireplace. Of course, her husband Josh Bryant and their dog Thunder were on hand for the festive finale, probably wondering why they hadn’t been cast in Wicked yet.
Kristin tweeted, “A Christmas Lullaby to end the day ❄️❤️ Hope you all had a lovely holiday with your families! Love, KC, Josh, & Thunder.” Yes, even Thunder got billing in this tweet—proof that Kristin’s household is a democracy.
Now, this wasn’t just any lullaby—it was “Christmas Lullaby,” a song from Kristin’s holiday album Happiness is… Christmas! (because apparently happiness isn’t leftover ham and a pile of wrapping paper). Fun fact: Barbra Streisand has also covered this song. Imagine the pressure of following Babs. It’s like trying to decorate cookies after Martha Stewart walks into your kitchen.
Kristin’s holiday season wasn’t exactly a silent night. She kicked things off with not one but TWO movies—Wicked and Our Little Secret—because apparently, she’s determined to make sure we never run out of reasons to adore her. She also squeezed in a holiday concert tour because why rest when you can hit high notes in multiple time zones?
One of the highlights was her performance at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, a venue so iconic that even Wicked held its U.S. premiere there. Kristin dazzled the audience with holiday hits like “O Holy Night” and “Do You Hear What I Hear?” as well as her signature Wicked anthems “Popular” and “For Good.” Let’s be honest—if she didn’t sing “Popular,” the crowd might have rioted.
In a heartwarming twist of Broadway bestie energy, Kristin’s longtime pal Kelli O’Hara will be headlining her own concert at the LA Opera in February. It’s like a tag-team match of vocal brilliance—Broadway divas edition.
Kristin Chenoweth, wrapping up Christmas with a lullaby, a fireplace, and enough holiday cheer to last until at least Groundhog Day. Can we nominate her as the official voice of Christmas? Thunder can be her campaign manager.
