Kelly Clarkson and her new family have been kidnapped by Santa - or at least that's what the photo on the front of the Blackstock Christmas card suggests.

The pregnant newlywed posted the intentionally awkward family shot on Twitter.com on Tuesday (10Dec13).

In it, she and husband Brandon Blackstock and her stepchildren Savannah and Seth are wrapped up in Christmas lights and wrapping paper as Father Christmas sits on a chair beside them.

Clarkson posted the caption: "Merry Christmas from the Blackstocks."
