The dozen-song album, produced by Grammy winner Don Was and including arrangements by David Campbell, offers a blend of both classic holiday songs and other timeless favorites, such as “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “My Favorite Things” (the latter from the film The Sound of Music). “Christmastime Is Here” from A Charlie Brown Christmas gets an orchestral update, while Yearwood also offers a soulful version of the Elvis Presley classic “Blue Christmas” and gives a sweeping rendition of “Pure Imagination” from the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. There is also the original “Merry Christmas, Valentine,” co-written and performed with Garth Brooks.

Christmastime is Yearwood’s first holiday project since her collaborative holiday project with Brooks, Christmas Together, debuted atop Billboard‘s Top Country Albums chart in 2016. Her most recent solo holiday album was 1994’s The Sweetest Gift, which was reissued in 2000.

The singer will celebrate the new project by launching Christmastime With Trisha Yearwood: 12 Days of Christmas Tour, a limited run of shows alongside local symphonies that will begin Dec. 2 with two performances at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center. The trek will also include stops in Atlanta, Detroit and Pittsburgh, before wrapping Dec. 20 in Louisville, Ky. Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday (Sept. 12).

“Christmas has always been one of my favorite times of year, and these songs mean so much to me,”
Yearwood said in a statement. “To be able to perform them with a full symphony brings the magic to another level. I can’t wait to share this music and celebrate the season with fans on tour.”

Earlier this year, Yearwood showcased her songwriting talents with her album The Mirror.
