Caption Your Next Holiday Instagram Post With These Kelly Clarkson Christmas Lyrics

With Christmas quickly approaching, many of us are scrambling to find the perfect Instagram caption to describe our visits to the annual tree lighting, decorating the gingerbread house, or trying eggnog for the first time. Each festive moment needs to be immortalized with the perfect Instagram caption for the holiday season. 

Some may find solace in the timeless melody of none other than the Queen of Christmas herself, Mariah Carey, and her seasonal classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” For those seeking a more vintage vibe, why not draw inspiration from the iconic “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee? 

As an elder member of Generation Z, I find myself taking a middle-ground approach, choosing the timeless charm of Kelly Clarkson for Instagram caption inspo. As a child, I distinctly remember listening to the singer’s song “Underneath The Tree” from her 2013 album, “Wrapped in Red.” 

Clarkson’s no stranger to writing Instagram-worthy lyrics for the holiday season. As I wait for her to bless the holiday season with yet another round of Christmas classics, here are 12 lyrics for Instagram captions guaranteed to hold Clarkson fans over until the next holiday album arrives. 

You’re all that I need underneath the tree —“Underneath the Tree”

Perfect for celebrating your first tree lightning as an official couple. Hard launch, anyone? 

In all this white, you’ll see me like you’ve never seen me yet — “Wrapped in Red”

After a snowball fight, declare your victory with this whimsical declaration. Or, show off that cute outfit you layered for the chilly winter fun.

Don’t wake me please from this winter dream — “Winter Dreams (Brandon’s Song)”

Hot cocoa? Check. Fuzzy blanket? Check. Festive PJs? Check. 

It’s that time of year — “Just for Now”

Short, sweet, and with a subtle Mariah Carey nod.

I’ll have a Blue Christmas without you. I’ll be so blue just thinking about you — “Blue Christmas”

For your first Christmas away from loved ones.

Standin’ where the trees meet the road. This used to be our favorite spot in this town — “Christmas isn’t Canceled (Just You)”

Have a favorite childhood Christmas spot that you used to visit every Christmas? She’s back, and ready to collect her flowers.

Christmas, won’t you please come early this year? — “Christmas Come Early”

For when you might have accidentally opened a present or two a bit too early. Your stocking stuffers just didn’t cut it this year.

So this Christmas, I’m making new plans — “Merry Christmas Baby”

New holiday season, new you, right? The New Year might be around the corner, but the spirit of self-care starts now. 

Here under the mistletoe magic fills the air — “Under the Mistletoe”

There’s nothing more romantic than a cute smooch under the season’s most romantic plant.

I’ve waited all year, baby just to see those reindeer, watch them as they go — “Christmas Eve”

Countdown to Christmas Eve by letting everyone know how you’re Christmas’s biggest fan. Shoutout to Rudolph! 

You’re the only one, only one I got my eyes on — “Glow”

Perhaps you just opened up your no.1 present. Maybe you managed to snap a cute photo with your crush. Who knows? It’s the season of Christmas mysteries (and miracles).

No need for a North star to show me where I will end — “Santa Can’t You Hear Me?”

This Holiday season, you chose to take matters into your own hands. No stocking full of coal around here this Christmas, only goals. 

‘Tis the season to fill your Instagram feed with Christmas lyrics!
