LeAnn Rimes will release ‘Greatest Hits Christmas' on 7th November 2025 via Curb Records.
The set will be released on double vinyl, CD and digital platforms. The news arrives just weeks after Rimes unveiled plans for her ‘Greatest Hits Christmas Tour'. Spanning three decades of celebrated holiday recordings, ‘Greatest Hits Christmas' serves as the definitive tribute to Rimes’ enduring connection to the season.
The double vinyl and digital release brings together fan-favourite classics, standout tracks from her beloved Christmas catalog, and three brand-new originals destined to become modern holiday staples. From her 1997 breakout holiday single ‘Put a Little Holiday in Your Heart' to a joyful rendition of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and heartfelt highlights from her “It’s Christmas, Eve” soundtrack, the album traces Rimes’ artistic and personal evolution through a festive lens – one that shines as brightly as ornaments on a tree and lights up the season with warmth and nostalgia.
The collection features guest stars including Welsh actor and singer Luke Evans on “There's No Such Thing”, a cheeky, theatrical ode to holiday skeptics that offers a joyful glimpse into her forthcoming musical Christmas project, '32 Hooves', Aloe Blacc on ‘That Spirit of Christmas' and Gavin DeGraw on ‘Celebrate Me Home'.
Reflecting on the album, Rimes shared: “Christmas has always been a sacred season for me. Not just a time of year, but a space I return to in my heart. This collection is a reflection of the memories, the prayers, the playfulness, and the spirit I’ve poured into this season again and again.”
“Some of these songs I’ve sung since I was a little girl. Some of these songs bring out the big kid in me. Others came later, from a deeper place, when I started asking myself what the season feels like now as a woman, a wife, a stepmom, and someone who’s lived a lot more life.”
“So, this album is a gathering of big and small moments, glittering and grounded, that have shaped how I see Christmas and what it’s meant to me throughout my life. I hope when you listen, you feel the joy, the ache, the wonder, and the warmth that I’ve always felt singing these songs. And more than anything, I hope it brings you closer to yourself and the people you love.”
Co-executive produced by Rimes and longtime collaborator Darrell Brown, ‘Greatest Hits Christmas' is a joyful invitation to celebrate the season with one of the most beloved voices in contemporary music – a voice that has become synonymous with holiday warmth and wonder.
