Darren Criss is releasing his first holiday album!
The 34-year-old musician confirmed to People that he will be dropping his new album, A Very Darren Christmas, on October 8, 2022.
The record will include covers of holiday classics and new songs, as well as collaborations with stars such as Adam Lambert.
“I always knew that if I ever made a Christmas album, it would have to be much more than just a collection of songs you already knew,” the Glee alum said. “I’d want it to be a journey through songs that not only had a personal significance to my life, but also a unique introduction to songs folks had never heard before, and a re-introduction to a few they might think they know – but have never considered differently.”
