The performance was filmed with an audience of only 250 people on a winter-garden terrace above the Musée du Quai Branly.
Aguilera is featured performing several holiday classics and hits amid a backdrop of the Eiffel Tower transformed into a shimmering Christmas tree.
My Kind of Christmas was released in 2003 and peaked at No. 1 on the US Top Holiday Albums chart.
In a November 2024 interview with PEOPLE, Aguilera opened up about her favorite holiday rituals, which included “bath time.”
“I’ve always loved baths and during the holidays I tend to prioritize that routine a bit more,” she said at the time. “But also moisturizer, especially for the extra cold, dry weather. It’s everything.”
Aguilera, who is mom to son Max, 17, and daughter Summer, 10, and is engaged to Matthew Rutler, also spoke about how she celebrates the festive season with her family.
“Cozy Christmas pajamas are a big thing for us! That includes fun onesies and socks,” she said at the time.
