It seems “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” is a favorite of Hudson's, as she also shared a video of herself singing the 1943 classic to Instagram in December 2020.

In the clip, the mother-of-two wore a long cardigan, slippers, and a knit hat as she sang, holding a microphone in front of a twinkling Christmas tree.

“Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight,” she captioned the video.

Hudson's fans aren't the only ones supporting her musical efforts. Mom Goldie Hawn also praised her daughter's skills in a recent interview with Us Weekly .

“Isn’t it great?" Hawn said. “She is successful but she is also talented. She knows how to sing. She’s got talent.”
