Kelly Clarkson is getting a jump on her holiday plans — by booking a gig at the 94th annual lighting of the National Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C.

Kelly will take the stage in President’s Park, outside the White House, on December 1st to tape a special that will air on the Hallmark Channel the following night. She’ll be joined by gospel superstar Yolanda Adams andChance the Rapper — a personal favorite of Barack Obama, who’ll preside over the event for the final time.

Tickets for the lighting are free, but available only through a lottery, which you can enter atTheNationalTree.org from October 7th through the 10th.
