“Sweet December,” a duet with Kelly Clarkson, is the first song to be available before the album’s release and is out now. Clarkson and Eldredge’s ease and warmth as vocalists and collaborators flow through the song building excitement for holidays to come. As Eldredge explains, “after singing “Under the Mistletoe” together, I knew there was no one else in the world I wanted to sing this song with...Kelly’s voice has this soulful retro feeling. I’ve never done a Christmas song in this style, and I really love it.” Kelly Clarkson also adds, “I’ve been fortunate enough to record songs with Brett, go see him live, and have him on my show! He has one of my favorite voices and I will sing with him anytime, anywhere! I hope people dig ‘Sweet December’ as much as we do!” Listen to “Sweet December” here.

Expanding on the inspiration for the album Eldredge draws on memories that feel lived in, like a favorite holiday sweater. “When you listen, I hope it reminds you to lean into your traditions and maybe reach to someone you haven’t talked to in a while. Loosen up a little and be who you are during the holidays. Embrace love, family, and togetherness. Don’t take it all too seriously. I just want to tell my stories and do what feels right in my heart.”

On the album’s title, Merry Christmas (Welcome to the Family), he elaborates, “I had a story in my head of introducing a stranger to my really whacky experience of going home for the holidays and meeting all of the interesting, crazy, beautiful, and awesome characters in my family. I had just experienced another Christmas with 50 people in my house. We opened presents, went to Christmas service, and everybody was sleeping in the attic. At the end of the song, I introduce everyone to my family, everyone from my brother and mother to Uncle Jim and Aunt Margo.”
