Hot In December Lyrics – Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue’s turning the holiday chill into a sultry simmer with Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped), her 10th-anniversary glow-up dropping December 5 via Warner Records, and “Hot In December” is already teasing that perfect paradox—a festive bop that makes snowflakes feel like sparks on skin.

This new cut, one of three fresh additions to the Amazon-exclusive edition, lands like a velvet-wrapped gift under the tree: shimmering synths and brass flourishes that nod to her disco-pop throne, but laced with that breathy, bedroom-eyed delivery she’s mastered since the ’80s. It’s holiday house with a wink—think twinkling bells crashing into a four-on-the-floor pulse, blending classic carol echoes with modern dancefloor heat.

Thematically, it’s Kylie owning the season’s contradictions: crisp December air begging for something warmer, a lover’s touch that thaws the frost without melting the magic. Snippets leaked on her Insta last week had fans flooding comments with fire emojis, dubbing it the “anti-jingle” they didn’t know they craved.

The full album? It’s a festive remix of her 2015 Kylie Christmas blueprint, cherry-picking nine timeless cuts like “Santa Baby” and “2000 Miles” alongside the shiny newcomers: the lead single “XMAS” (that Amazon original already climbing playlists), “This Time Of Year,” and “Office Party.” Clocking 12 tracks total, it’s less a straight reissue, more a wrapped-up evolution—lush strings and live horns giving the oldies a 2025 facelift, all wrapped in candy-cane vinyl exclusives for the superfans. Recorded piecemeal between Vegas residencies and London sessions, it captures Kylie’s knack for making tinsel feel timeless, proving Christmas can be campy, sexy, and soulful in equal measure.

At 57, Minogue’s in her victory lap era—fresh off Tension II’s chart domination and that Padam Padam-fueled renaissance that had TikTok elders rediscovering her strut. The Aussie export who went from Neighbours soap star to global gay icon is leaning harder into legacy now, trading bubblegum for bolstered brass, but never losing that flirtatious fire. This drop? It’s her cheeky reminder that even in December’s hush, she’s the heat you can’t turn down—tour dates rumored for a holly-jolly run in ’26, with cameos from her Showgirl-era sparkle.
