Carrie Underwood Delivers an Early Christmas Present
with a Special Holiday Edition of Carnival Ride

Double-Disc to Include Five Holiday Favorites, Arriving October 21st, Exclusively at Wal-Mart

Nashville, TN – Three-time GRAMMY winner and two-time, reigning CMA and ACM Female Vocalist winner Carrie Underwood delivers a special treat to help usher in the coming Christmas season with the October 21 release of a holiday edition of her current album, Carnival Ride. Available exclusively at Wal-Mart, the holiday version will be a two-disc package featuring the Carnival Ride album along with a second disc containing five Christmas favorites, four of which are previously unreleased.

Among the seasonal classics are “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” “The First Noel,” “What Child Is This,” and “O Holy Night” – all newly recorded for this collection – in addition to Carrie’s rendition of “Do You Hear What I Hear,” featured on last year’s multi-artist compilation, Hear Something Country Christmas.

Underwood’s Carnival Ride continues to be one of the nation’s hottest-selling country albums nearly a year after its release. Currently certified Double-Platinum, the album has already launched three back-to-back #1 singles – all co-written by Carrie – including “So Small,” “Last Name,” and “All-American Girl,” while the current smash, “Just a Dream,” is now climbing the Top 10.
