We begin the Friday night Kiddush with the standard Shabbat Yom Hashishi and then, immediately after reciting the hagafen blessing, we proceed to the holiday Kiddush while adding in special Shabbat inserts. This is similar to the Shabbat/holiday Amidah, which is the Yom Tov Amidah with the appropriate Shabbat inserts.

On such occasions, it is customary to recite all the introductory prayers reserved for the Shabbat kiddush, such as the Shalom Aleichem and Woman of Valor, in an undertone. Thus we avoid making the holiday "self-conscious" of the fact that these sections are not recited before the standard holiday kiddush...

For the Shabbat/holiday morning kiddush, the standard Shabbat introductory prayers and kiddush are recited in an undertone before reciting the traditional holiday kiddush.
