I mentioned it to a couple of people on my team and they were saying, 'What do you want to do for the rest of the year? What do you want to do next?' I said, 'I'm thinking about a Christmas album, actually.' Some of that stems from lastChristmas."[10]Minogue said that she had Christmas inLos Angeles, Californiain 2014, and her friend suggested recording a Christmas album; "They just assumed I had done one, and when I said I hadn't done an entire album they just started, 'You've got to do it.

Kylie Christmasreceived mixed reviews frommusic critics.AtMetacritic,which assigns anormalisedrating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received anaveragescore of 55, which indicates "mixed or average reviews", based on 7 reviews.[36]Tim Sendra fromAllMusicawarded the album three stars out of five, and stated "She and her team do it right, providing a varied and diverse selection of tracks and moods," and highlighted "Christmas Wrapping","I'm Gonna Be Warm This Christmas ", and" White December "as the album's best tracks. He concluded" Throughout the album, Kylie sounds very game, merry even, and there's enough holiday spirit on offer to help even thegrinchiestcustomer make it through theseasonwith the bare minimum of humbug. "[14]TheHerald Suncontributors, Cameron Adams, Mike Cahill, and Cyclone Wehner, awarded the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, commending Anderson's production skills and said "Anderson's lush fingerprints were all over herAbbey Road orchestral hits albuma few years back and he was clearly the man for this Christmas album. "[15]Sal Cinquemani fromSlant Magazinereviewed the leaked material, and awarded it three stars out of five. Cinquemani commended the original material, highlighting "Every Day's Like Christmas" as the best track, and praised the album's mixture of Christmas music with disco and electronic dance music. However, he criticized Minogue's "lack of magic", and concluded "that's not to say an album of disco or EDM-infused holiday songs wouldn't have been predictable in its own way, but for a once fearlesslyprogressive popstar, the otherwise lovingly executed and heartwarmingKylie Christmasfeels like a bit of a missed opportunity to innovate a well-worn genre. "[1]
However, Andy Gill fromThe Independentawarded the album two stars. He criticised Minogue's lack of creative delivery, by stating "But they're let down by the lack of character in Kylie's delivery, most notably on 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town', a posthumous duet with Frank Sinatra, where his easy, relaxed manner is in sharp contrast to her discomfort." He commended the musical diversity of the tracks, highlighting "Let It Snow", "Winter Wonderland", and "Every Day's Like Christmas", and highlighted "White December", "Cried Out Christmas", and "Christmas Wrapping" as the best tracks.[38]Lauren Murphy fromThe Irish Timesargued the relevance of the album, by stating "We've heard it all before, so do we really need another pop star doing another bog-standard Christmas album with a sprinkling of festive cheese? To be fair, Kylie Minogue is better placed than most to do such an album, given her longevity in the business." Murphy concluded "'2,000 Miles' is one of the few saving graces on yet another inessential album that will have no bearing on your enjoyment of the festive season whatsoever."[39]Several publications mentioned the album on their anticipated releases of 2015, including Unrealitytv.co.uk.[41]
In 2022BillboardlistedKylie Christmasas the 7thBest Christmas Albums of the 21st Century.[42]
