Do you remember those classic Christmas tunes that filled your home during the holiday season when you were a kid? Well, in my family, we had a special playlist dedicated to those timeless songs that just scream ‘Christmas’. Unlike some families who would jam out to modern hits, my parents kept it classic, avoiding anything too contemporary like Mariah Carey or Wham! And that’s why those older, golden oldies hold a special place in my heart.

So, you can only imagine how warm and fuzzy I felt when I first heard Carrie Underwood’s version of “The Little Drummer Boy” – and it was not just any cover. She sang it as a beautiful duet with her little boy! It’s one of those songs that never gets old, right?

“The Little Drummer Boy” has its roots in a traditional Czech carol and is believed to have been penned by Katherine K. Davis back in 1941. Over the years, it has been covered by numerous artists, from Bing Crosby to Johnny Cash, and even Justin Bieber. Everyone has their favorite version, but they all have that special Christmas magic.

But there was something extra special about Carrie Underwood’s rendition in 2020. She didn’t just sing the song; she shared the microphone with her then-5-year-old son, Isaiah. Carrie Underwood is a country music superstar, known for captivating audiences with her powerful voice and charming presence. When she announced a Christmas album in 2020, fans were beyond excited. The album consisted of traditional Christmas songs and some originals by Carrie herself. However, the track that truly stands out is her version of “The Little Drummer Boy” with her son. Despite his young age, Isaiah sang like a little star.

If you haven’t heard their version yet, trust me, you’re missing out. It’s a heartwarming performance that is sure to fill you with holiday cheer. Give it a listen, and you’ll feel the Christmas spirit in no time!
