Brett Eldredge is set to release his third holiday album, 'Merry Christmas (Welcome to the Family),' on September 27, 2024, marking his first release under his own label, Warm and Cozy Records. The album features eight original songs, including the first single 'Sweet December,' a duet with Kelly Clarkson. Eldredge describes the album as a reflection of love and togetherness during the holidays, drawing inspiration from his own family experiences. Clarkson praised Eldredge's unique voice and expressed her excitement about collaborating again after their previous work together. The album will also be available on vinyl, which includes an exclusive board game to encourage family gatherings during the festive season. Eldredge's transition to his independent label follows his departure from Warner Music Nashville, as he aims to embrace creative freedom and self-management in his music career.
