When "The Voice" co-judges Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande released their Christmas collaboration, "Santa, Can't You Hear Me," pop fans were prepared to keep an eye out for potential Easter eggs. While there don't seem to be any direct references to Clarkson or Grande's lives, the song still stands out as a powerful, vocal-heavy holiday song. 

"Keep that magic snowman / Keep those twinkly lights / Keep the reindeer / My heart already knows how to fly," Grande and Clarkson sing on the first verse, via Genius. The song's lyrics immediately set the scene that the two musicians aren't wishing for the standard holiday-associated things to come their way. Instead, they're wishing Santa to send for something — or someone — else.

"What I want for Christmas / Hasn't come and I been so blue / Tell me what can I do? Ooh, ooh, oh yeah / Keep the mistletoe / Unless below, is what I need," they sing in the chorus. Clarkson and Grande are at different stages in their love lives — Grande married Dalton Gomez in May, while Clarkson is in the process of divorcing Brandon Blackstock. But having someone to kiss under the mistletoe is a pretty universal desire, and it's one countless listeners will be able to relate to.
