Carrie Underwood appeared on Jimmy Fallon to perform a Christmas song from her My Gift album and promote her new holiday HBO MAX special.

Underwood told Fallon that her five year old son Isaiah made a Christmas list for himself and his almost two-year-old baby brother Jacob. She reveals that Isaiah's list was full of Spiderman stuff, the list he made for his baby brother just read, "random baby toys."

Underwood joked, "So you think it's going to be sweet but then he really didn't put much thought into it."

Carrie added that 2020 has been her year spent in "Christmas land" as she recorded the Christmas album in July and has been talking about it since. She offered, "So I have been living in Christmas land all of 2020, which is a much better place than being in 2020 itself."
