The singer-actress announced Wednesday (Oct. 21) that she’s releasing her very own holiday EP, featuring three original songs. Set for release on Friday (Oct. 23), Holiday Things will also include a cover of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and an updated version of Duff’s cover of the seasonal Wham! hit “Last Christmas” that appeared on her 2003 Christmas album, Santa Claus Lane. The new original tracks are titled “All You Want for Christmas Is Me” — a play on Mariah Carey’s iconic 22-week Billboard Hot 100-topping smash “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — “I Want (A Few Small Things)” and “I Guess It’s Christmas.” “I guess Christmas came early … Holiday Things is yours this Friday 10.23,” Duff wrote on Instagram. The project continues a massive musical renaissance Duff has experienced over the past year. Her first album in a decade, Luck … or Something, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and has fueled her ongoing Lucky Me arena tour. She recently added a slew of extra dates, expanding the trek through November 2027. “When I think about this era, for me it took a lot of guts,” she said in a recent chat with Billboard. I showed up for sure, but the only reason it’s working is because everyone’s showing up, and I don’t even exactly know why, but I’m really excited to see it and feel it and feel something that I’ve gotten a little taste of now. Obviously it’s in my body from before, but I’m such a different version of myself than I was back then, so it’s really magical to do this again.” After Luck … or Something, the Lizzie McGuire alum followed it up with an EP of re-recorded versions of her past nostalgic hits titled (Mine). On it were reclaimed editions of 2000s Hot 100 hits such as “Come Clean,” “What Dreams Are Made Of,” “Wake Up” and “So Yesterday.” The star’s most recent release was a single called “CATastrophe” for the upcoming Cat in the Hat movie.
