Christmas came early for Jennifer Hudson after she learned her debut holiday album, 2024’s ‘The Gift of Love,’ was gifted a nomination for the 2026 GRAMMYS earlier this month.

To celebrate the continued critical acclaim the set’s been afforded since it hit digital shelves last year, Hudson has repackaged the project with an extended version that includes her soaring rendition of ‘Mary Did You Know’ alongside her take on favorites like ‘Winter Wonderland,’ ‘Carol of the Bells,’ ‘Little Drummer Boy,’ ‘My Favorite Things,’ ‘O Holy Night,’ and more.

Having already watched the LP soar into the top 10 of Billboard’s Holiday charts, J.Hud may be poised to repeat the feat once fans get a load of the updated edition of ‘Gift.’
