Gabby Barrett is officially kicking off the holidays early with the announcement of her upcoming Christmas album, Carols and Candlelight. Yes, you read that right—while most of us are still carving pumpkins and keeping our horror movie marathons alive, Barrett is already channeling her inner Santa Claus. In a recent social media post, she gave fans a sneak peek of her rendition of the classic song “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” Mark your calendars because that festive treat drops on October 25, which, at this rate, might just have us roasting marshmallows in July!
But wait, there’s more! The full album is set to be released on November 8, and it’s currently available for pre-save and pre-order—because who doesn’t want to blast Christmas music before Thanksgiving? In typical Gabby fashion, her version of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” promises a jazzy flair with a piano-driven vibe while giving a nod to her country roots. It seems she’s found the perfect mix of Santa and Southern twang!
As if that’s not enough to stir the pot, Barrett has recently hinted at a potential crossover into the Christian music scene with her latest single, “Jesus on a Train.” Talk about a musical juggling act! It’ll be interesting to see how fans react to her blending the genres while keeping it festive. Now we have to wonder—can we talk her into releasing her holiday album on the Fourth of July next?
Regardless of the timing, Gabby Barrett is warming our hearts earlier than ever and proving that the Christmas spirit can strike at any moment. So get ready to deck the halls and chill the eggnog because this holiday season might kick off sooner than you thought!
