Marking his first studio project in over a decade, ‘Christmas Bells Are Ringing’ invites listeners to ceebrate the magic of the holiday season with Aiken’s unmistakable voice and timeless charm. The album includes beloved holiday standards such as Bing Crosby classic “Do You Hear What I Hear?”, Nat King Cole’s “Caroling, Caroling,” and Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime,” alongside a lush reimagining of one of his personal favorite artists The Carpenters’ “Merry Christmas, Darling” and a breathtaking rendition of “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka andamp; the Chocolate Factory.

Clay Aiken’s journey to fame began as the runner-up on Season 2 of American Idol in 2003. His debut single, “This Is the Night,” soared to #1 on Billboard's Hot 100, while his first album, ‘Measure of a Man,’achieved triple platinum status. Over the years, Aiken has sold millions of albums, headlined national tours, starred on Broadway, and made significant strides as both a philanthropist and politician.

As this year marks the 20th anniversary of his record-breaking album ‘Merry Christmas With Love,’ Aiken’s latest release, ‘Christmas Bells Are Ringing,’ is poised to deliver the same timeless joy to listeners, making it the perfect soundtrack for the 2024 holiday season.

Recently, Aiken took to the stage at the United Way Benefit for Hurricane Relief to raise essential funds for communities devastated by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The primetime special, which aired on the CBS Television Network and CMT, was also live-streamed on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME. The cause was especially meaningful to Aiken, a North Carolina native, who was deeply moved by the impact on his home state.
