Canadian indie-pop duo Tegan and Sara have entered the festive season with two original Christmas songs, A December To Remember and I Love Christmas, both accompanied by music videos directed by Kyle Lee. Released on November 9, the recordings offer a welcome alternative to the annual recycling of familiar seasonal standards. The songs follow Our Year, released earlier in 2026 as the sisters' first new material since their 2022 album Crybaby.
Interestingly, the Christmas recordings began life as compositions written with Kate Cooper of Australian indie-pop duo An Horse. They were originally intended for a project connected with Tegan and Sara's 2024 graphic novel Crush, but remained unreleased until Tegan revisited them while working on her latest book, Merry Christmess. The timing proved appropriate, particularly given Tegan's considerable enthusiasm for the holiday season. She has described decorating multiple Christmas trees, watching festive films throughout December and embracing the anticipation surrounding Christmas.
The new recordings demonstrate how independent artists can approach seasonal music without abandoning their established personalities. Rather than relying entirely upon familiar arrangements, Tegan and Sara introduce original compositions that reflect their melodic songwriting traditions. The duo are also scheduled to support Hilary Duff during selected dates of her 2027 tour, beginning in San Antonio on November 5.
Their latest releases provide another example of the creative opportunities available when musicians revisit unfinished material instead of permanently abandoning it. Apparently the difference between an unreleased song and a Christmas single can occasionally be solved by adding festive enthusiasm and remembering where the original recording files were saved.
