Kylie Minogue Gifts the World a Queer Christmas: ‘Fully Wrapped’ Marks a Decade of Festive Pop Joy

It’s official: Kylie Minogue has unwrapped her latest gift to the world, and it’s as fabulous as a midnight drag show on Christmas Eve. In honor of the 10th anniversary of her much-loved holiday album, the pop icon has released "Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped)," a definitive edition that glitters with queer joy, nostalgia, and four brand new tracks guaranteed to get even the most jaded elf shimmying around the tinsel tree .

Kylie, whose career has been interwoven with LGBTQ+ culture for decades, knows the power of tradition—especially those traditions we create for ourselves."Kylie Christmas" has become a staple of queer holiday playlists since its debut, with its unapologetically campy take on yuletide classics and original bops alike. With this new edition, Kylie invites fans old and new to dance, reminisce, and celebrate the season in their own way, whether that means a boozy brunch with drag queens, a quiet night with chosen family, or a glitter-soaked party that lasts until sunrise .

The new tracks—"Hot in December,""Office Party," and"This Time of Year"—promise even more reasons to rejoice. Each song sparkles with Kylie's signature blend of warmth, glamour, and cheeky playfulness, adding fresh anthems to the queer holiday canon . As any Kylie devotee knows, her music isn’t just background noise—it’s a call to the dance floor, an embrace for the lonely, and a celebration of resilience.

For many LGBTQ+ people, the holidays can be complicated—a time of joy, yes, but also a time when the idea of family takes on new meaning. Enter Kylie, whose music has always been a safe haven for those seeking acceptance, sparkle, or simply a place to belong. Her Christmas albums have become a soundtrack to the kind of festive gathering where everyone is welcome, whether you’re in sequins, sweats, or something in between.

Kylie’s impact on queer culture is as enduring as her discography. From the sweaty dancefloors of the 1990s to present-day Pride parades, she’s been there, glitter and all, offering up music that says: you belong, you’re fabulous, and yes, you deserve joy. The re-release of"Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped)" isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a reminder that queer celebration is a tradition worth cherishing and expanding.

This anniversary edition arrives just as Kylie’s queer legacy is enjoying a global renaissance. The album is available in an array of limited-edition vinyls—pink and white marble, transparent red, and more—each one a collector’s item, each one a visual love letter to the LGBTQ+ fans who have supported Kylie through thick, thin, and the occasional questionable holiday sweater .

As Kylie prepares for a new round of tour dates spanning continents and queer capitals alike,"Fully Wrapped" feels less like a product and more like a promise: wherever you are, whoever you are, there’s a place for you in this dazzling, disco-lit community .

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer discovering the shimmering joy of Kylie Christmas for the first time, this anniversary release is an invitation. Cue up"Hot in December" as you deck the halls, belt out"This Time of Year" at karaoke, or simply let Kylie’s voice remind you that the magic of the season is real—and that queer joy, like the best pop music, never goes out of style.

So this December, let’s gather—online or IRL, in clubs or kitchens, with friends or solo—and unwrap the gift that is Kylie Minogue. After all, as any queer person knows: the best traditions are the ones we make ourselves, and there’s nothing more festive than celebrating them together.
