      The best advice you could give someone aspiring to write a new seasonal classic is “Unless you can outdo Irving Berlin, Johnny Marks, and Phil Spector, don’t bother.” It’s a pleasant surprise, then, that Kelly Clarkson (and, lest we forget, producer Greg Kurstin and various cowriters) came up with some originals (“Wrapped in Red”, “Underneath the Tree”, and “Winter Dreams [Brandon’s Song]” among them) that are just as good as the oldies. Plus, she sings the living reindeer shit out of them.
