Underwood, Hillary Lindsey and Chris DeStefano wrote the song, which was produced by "My Gift" album producer Greg Wells.

"'Favorite Time of Year' is a joyful, super happy and fun Christmas song because it is about all of the things that make you happy this time of year, and it puts you in the mood to celebrate," said Underwood. "I can't help but smile when I sing it, it just brightens my day and I'm thrilled to share it today only on Amazon Music."

"My Gift," which came out in September, is Underwood's first holiday release.

CD review - Cry Pretty Carrie Underwood's life was reading straight from the storybooks: one of the few American Idol Winners with ongoing success; a professional athlete for a husband; a beautiful baby boy.
