Background and Compostion
While "The Christmas Song" was recorded during her debut album sessions, all of the other songs from My Kind of Christmas were recorded while Aguilera was on tour in mid-late 2000. The album was recorded at the same time as Aguilera was recording her Spanish-language album Mi Reflejo—the albums were released one month apart.
In addition, "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", from the film The Sound of Music, and which can be heard on her My Reflection DVD, was recorded for "My Kind of Christmas" but the song remained absent when the physical release became available. The song has yet to be leaked through the internet, or through any other available source. "These Are the Special Times" is a cover of the title track from Celine Dion's 1998 Christmas album These Are Special Times. Aguilera's vocal range on this album is four octaves and semitone. She sings C3 in "Merry Christmas, Baby" as the lowest note. Highest note is G#5 in "Christmas Time" in full voice. Highest whistle note is C#7 in "The Christmas Song".
