Kylie Minogue is finally sharing the Christmas song she has been holding onto for a decade. The pop icon has released her new single “XMAS,” a track she says dates back to the summer of 2015 and was originally inspired by the Village People’s “YMCA.”

The song arrives as part of the 10th anniversary edition of Minogue’s holiday album, Kylie Christmas, which returns on Dec. 5 as Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped) with four brand-new tracks.
Speaking to The Sun, Minogue explained that the idea first came to her while she was in Berlin shortly after releasing her first holiday album, Kylie Christmas, that same year.
“The song comes from 2015. I was at Soho House in Berlin, it was summer on the terrace and we’d just done the first Christmas album,” she said. “We’d had a couple of glasses of wine … and it came to us like ‘YMCA’ but ‘XMAS.’ I’ve been sitting on the chorus for 10 years.”
The single arrives with a video that sees Minogue recreating the iconic flying lift from Dirty Dancing. Despite decades of stage experience, she admitted the move was a leap of faith.
“I was a bit scared as I’ve never done it before. It was a fantasy moment. I was told not to overthink it,” she said. “We did a couple of practices before we did the main one. The thing is, you just need to trust the other person. The first one I got up, but I overshot it. The second was fine. The third one was good. The bruises were worth it the next day.”
Minogue also addressed the idea of “XMAS” becoming a holiday chart-topper — something she’s not expecting but would happily welcome. “I’m not counting on it,” she said. “It would be crazy but that’s definitely parked to one side for me. I am just happy that ten years have passed since my last Christmas album and we are all here still going.”
The release caps what has been one of the busiest stretches of Minogue’s career. Over the past two years, she has released two albums, including 2023’s Tension, and completed a 66-date world tour behind the record. After nonstop work, she says she’s ready for a pause — sort of.
“It feels like I haven’t stopped. It’s been a gigantic year but I imagine I will be making music just for the love of it and maybe banking some things,” she said. “I could happily be in the studio most of my time. I love it. I find it just gets richer and more satisfying.”
Still, Minogue admitted that trying to record a holiday album during breaks on her Tension tour “was maybe not so wise,” but the creative impulse keeps her going. “I don’t know about releasing. I think I should just do the background work… maybe.”
Minogue’s “XMAS” is out now.

What Is A Grand Ole Opry Christmas About?
A Grand Ole Opry Christmas followes Gentry Woods (Nikki DeLoach), the daughter of late (fictional) country music icon Jett Woods, who is invited to perform at the Opry to honor her father. But Gentry ditched her dream of a songwriting career and distanced herself from her father’s legacy following his tragic car accident, and isn’t sure she’s ready to confront her family demons. Fortunately, she reunites with lifelong friend Mac (Kristoffer Polaha) and meets a few country music superstars along the way, who convince her that there’s no better time to shine — and find love — that at the Opry’s centennial celebration at Christmas.
Of course it wouldn’t be a Hallmark movie without some holiday magic sprinkled in too, and the official film description teases a little time travel. “Gentry visits the Opry and, while seated in one of the vaunted venue’s oak church pews, is suddenly transported to 1995. Gentry’s lifelong friend Mac (Polaha) a country music talent manager, finds himself in 1995 as well. Thanks to some Christmas magic, Gentry gets precious time with her father, creative inspiration to finish the song she began decades earlier as a teen and learns surprising answers to questions about her father that have followed her for the last three decades.”
In addition to DeLoach, Polaha, Paisley and the country singers mentioned earlier, the film stars Desperate Housewives fave James Denton and features longtime Opry stars Riders in the Sky, Nashville legend Bill Anderson, Opry inductees Jamey Johnson and Dailey and Vincent, and singer Suzy Bogguss, who was officially invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry in October.
“The Hallmark Channel to me is a major part of finding the joy and the spirit of the holidays,” Paisley says in a press release. “I loved the challenge of creating that same magic with this music by letting it take you to the same place that these movies and this world Hallmark has built. Can’t wait for you to hear what all we’ve done. Also, knowing the Opry is the setting for one of these movies is very inspiring.”
The movie is part of Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” event, which went viral last year for the Taylor Swift-inspired Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.
Of course, you can also experience Christmas IRL at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. The venue’s famous “Opry Country Christmas” show is running all through December, and you can find tickets here.

The Beatles were very serious about Christmas, so much so that they released their very own holiday album in 1970, aptly titled The Beatles Christmas Album. If you want to get into the spirit, throw on that album and hang this Kat + Annie The Beatles Ornament on your tree. Retailing for $26.95, this ornament is made of glass and comes with a hook to attach to the tree.

David Bowie Ziggy Stardust Christmas Tree Ornament Merchandise Decor
A David Bowie ornament.
David Bowie was another musician who was pretty active during the holidays. As far as Christmas is concerned, the star once collaborated with Bing Crosby on a track titled “Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy” in 1977. The song features Crosby singing the 1941 standard “The Little Drummer Boy” while Bowie sings the counterpoint tune “Peace on Earth.” In any case, this ornament of Bowie is a keeper, depicting the ever-popular Ziggy stardust, Bowie’s alter-ego, in the center of a metal snowflake-shaped motif. This is one of the more intricate entries on our list, and one that we’re sure would look great alongside your more traditional ornaments.

The ornament depicts Michael in glittering glory with a gold string attached to his head.

A Freddie Mercury ornament.
If you can believe it, Queen has a song called “Thank God It’s Christmas.” It was a B-side of the single “A Winter’s Tale” from the 1995 album Made in Heaven. While he doesn’t scream Christmas spirit, this Freddie Mercury ornament for $30 was too good not to include in this list. Like our George Michael pick, this ornament is a glittering bust of Mercury with a crown sat atop his head, along with a string to attach the ornament to your tree.

Herb Alpert says he’s returned to holiday music as another thing to do — and for all the right reasons.
“I just like making music,” says the iconic trumpeter, composer and record company executive, who delivered Christmas Time Is Here, his third holiday set, on Nov. 7. “That’s what I do to stay healthy. I like to record, and if I can find a song that haunts me for some reason and do it in a way that’s different, that people haven’t heard before…that’s what I like to do. I picked out a bunch of songs, and even though I’ve recorded a couple of these songs before I felt I could put another spin on them.”
Holiday albums have certainly been good for Alpert during his 67-year recording career, which has put him in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and earned him a National Medal of Arts. Alpert’s first seasonal effort, Christmas Album in 1968, went gold, per the RIAA; 2017’s The Christmas Wish hit No. 2 on the Jazz Albums chart and No. 5 on the Top Holiday Albums chart.
“They sell every year,” Alpert notes. “You put ’em to rest for 11 months and they come back like they’re almost fresh. They’re good songs, and when you pick good songs, I think people appreciate that.”
Alpert tried a few different things with some of the 12 tracks on Christmas Time Is Here. Particularly notable is his new cover version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein standard “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music, which Alpert kept melodically faithful within a revamped arrangement. “I always liked that melody,” he explains. “It’s written in 3/4, like in a waltz time. I found a way to do in 4/4 that seemed like it fit the song. There’s been so many recordings of (the song), but this one certainly doesn’t sound like something that’s been overplayed.” Alpert, who’s joined by keyboardist Jeff Lorber on several of the songs, also lent a New Orleans flavor to the staple “Jingle Bells” and incorporates some vocals into the mostly instrumental set on tracks such as “Sleigh Ride” and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
“It takes relaxation and not thinking too hard,” he says of the process. “I’m not trying to make a hit record that’s going to sell a zillion copies. I’m just trying to make something that feels good to me. I’m always looking for that. That’s my goal, to make music that feels good. So when I hit on a type of arrangement just felt right, felt interesting, that’s when I felt like (the songs) deserved to be done again.”
“All I Want for Christmas Is You” is the most contemporary selection on the set but one that’s certainly been on Alpert’s radar since its 1994 release. “I always thought it was a really good song, good melody, nice lyric — it didn’t surprise me that record of hers did so well,” he says of the perennial Billboard Hot 100 topper. “It’s always melody first; like Quincy Jones once said, you can take the greatest singer in the world, and if the song’s not there the record won’t be any good.”
Christmas Time Is Here comes in the midst of a variety of celebrations for Alpert during the past year-plus. During September of 2024 he released 50, his — wait for it — 50th studio album. This year, meanwhile, he turned 90 (on March 31) and has been commemorating the 60th anniversary of his breakthrough Whipped Cream & Other Delights — his first of five No. 1s on the Billboard 200 — by touring with a reconstituted Tijuana Brass, which hit the road again Nov. 9 with dates booked into next summer.
“It’s this new renaissance; I can’t believe what’s happening,” Alpert says. “I’m 90 years old and I’ve got this audience that wants to hear music that I did 60 years ago. I’m doing it for the right reasons; it’s something I have to do. It gives me energy; It gives me a reason to be. I like it, and I get a chance to make a lot of people happy. That seems like a good deal. I didn’t expect this to be happening at my present age.”
There’s more to come, he says. Alpert is planning to release a live album from the tour, though no release date has been determined. Meanwhile, he adds, “I’ve got a whole bunch of songs that are ready to be released,” again without a firm plan yet, and he’s confident there will be even more after that.
“That’s what I love to do,” he says. “I love to record. I love to work. I have a Logic (recording) system, and it keeps my brain working. I play the horn just about every day of my life. I’m a right-brain guy — I paint and sculpt and blow the horn. I’ve got this gift, and I love that I get to share it with people.”

The holiday season is fast approaching, which means it’s time to start thinking about decking your halls.
While you could go the classic garland and holly route, we’d suggest going the music fanatic route this season with Grateful Dead holiday decor available on Amazon now. The best part? The holiday offerings are on sale. The band’s official Amazon storefront includes two holiday pieces, although there are a bunch to choose from. Our picks? A nutcracker in the shape of a dancing bear, the band’s unofficial mascot, for $50.71 and a decorative glass ornament for $30.20.
The bear nutcracker stands at 10 inches and depicts the band’s dancing bear in blue wearing a festive holiday costume. An ornament is clutched in the bear’s hand. If you didn’t know, the dancing bear is meant to represent the band’s sound engineer and counterculture figure, Owsley “Bear” Stanley, who was nicknamed “bear” for his hairy chest.

Below, Billboard Family is debuting “The Elves Went Over the Mountain,” the first music video from The Elf on the Shelf preschool YouTube series Scout Elf Squad, which finds Frostina, Shiver, Snowdrop and Blizzard making their way over the snowy hills to “see what they can see.” The brand-new song, out now, is part of the upcoming 10-track Scout Elf Squad: Sing & Play Nursery Rhymes album, which arrives Nov. 21.
“We’ve seen a wonderful surge in families wanting content created for our youngest fans—some as young as 2—whose parents are eager to share the Scout Elf they grew up with as part of their own holiday traditions,” Chanda A. Bell, The Lumistella Company’s co-founder and co-CEO (and Santa’s Chief Storyteller) tells Billboard Family of the pivot to music. “As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we’re delighted to introduce 10 new songs and a new pilot season of The Elf on the Shelf Scout Elf Squad on YouTube for fans of all ages to enjoy.”
Bell co-wrote the 2005 children’s book The Elf on the Shelf with her mother, Carol Aebersold, and helped bring their family’s annual Christmas tradition to a worldwide audience. Now, to celebrate two decades of the holiday staple, The Elf on the Shelf “Santaverse” is expanding to include the YouTube series and new music. According to a description of Scout Elf Squad, which arrives Nov. 24 on YouTube, “Four Scout Elves – Frostina, Shiver, Snowdrop and Blizzard – join forces for play and adventure after Scout Elf School each day! When they share the power of teamwork, imagination and their magical skills, they create a North Pole Power-up, enabling the squad to fix, help and save the day as they play along with other North Pole characters.”
As for the new music, Bell tells Billboard Family: “Christmas and music go hand-in-hand, and we’re excited for our merry band of The Elf on the Shelf Scout Elf Squad members, featured heroically in our new preschool show, to make the season a little brighter with these 10 delightful new songs. We hope they will inspire families and bring joy during this most wonderful time of the year.”

Another Kylie Christmas is coming.
Kylie Minogue will ring in the holiday period with the 10th anniversary edition of Kylie Christmas, featuring four newly-recorded tracks.
Due out Dec. 5, Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped) (via Warner Records) includes the new yuletide tunes “Hot In December,” “This Time Of Year,” “Office Party” and “XMAS,” an Amazon Music Original.
Pronounced X – M – A – S, the party number is available now to stream from Amazon Music, and is available as a stocking filler on CD, 7” gold vinyl and 12” zoetrope vinyl from the Australian pop princess’s official store.

The album proper should make for a handy present for fans, and is available to preorder in several limited-edition vinyls, from candy cane to transparent red and pink and white marble color-ways. The Amazon exclusive album vinyl is a transparent green.
“Revisiting Kylie Christmas ten years on has been so much fun,” Minogue says in a statement. “Fully Wrapped has given me the chance to write and record four new songs and add a little extra sparkle – I can’t wait for everyone to turn up the volume on the new single, ‘XMAS’!”
Kylie is three decades-and-counting into her stellar career, and there’s a sense that she’s not yet hit her peak.
Raised in Melbourne, the pop veteran’s 2023 album Tension led the national charts in the United Kingdom and Australia, peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard 200, and spawned the global hit “Padam Padam,” which scooped a Grammy Award (best pop dance recording). Followup Tension II also led the charts in the U.K., Australia and cracked the top 100 in the U.S.
Kylie’s hot streak has included Las Vegas residencies, ARIA Awards; a deal with United Talent Agency (UTA) for live representation in the U.S. and Canada and acting roles worldwide; the Global Icon Award at the 2024 BRIT Awards, becoming just the second woman to win it following Taylor Swift in 2021; and the Billboard Women in Music Icon Award.
More recently, the Aussie legend was a guest on PinkPantheress’s all-star remix project of her Fancy That mixtape, which dropped last month, and she performed alongside ATEEZ for Apple TV+’s new music competition series KPOPPED.
