Renowned songwriter and worship leader Phil Wickham has officially unveiled his 2024 SoCal Christmas Tour, with the talented TAYA set to join him as the guest artist. Earlier this summer, Wickham took to social media to share exciting news about an upcoming Christmas album, which is expected to drop in 2024.

This 14-track LP will include fresh takes on beloved holiday classics, alongside original compositions. Notable collaborations on the album will feature guest vocals from Anne Wilson, CHPTRS, and Evan Wickham, with the first single anticipated to be released in September.

Reflecting on the unique experience of creating Christmas music, Wickham shares, “It’s wild how I’m often recording these albums in the sweltering heat of summer, belting out tunes like ‘Oh Come All Ye Faithful’ while wearing sandals and a tank top. It might seem a bit odd, but I genuinely enjoy it. It serves as a reminder that the story of God sending His Son to save us shouldn’t be confined to just sermons and discussions for one month a year. Singing these songs outside the holiday context brings a profound clarity and depth that truly touches my heart. God has never given up on us; He embarked on a rescue mission to reclaim what we lost, to mend our mistakes, and to rectify all the wrongs we’ve made. Thank you, God, for your unyielding love! I can’t wait to share this music with you.” – Wickham
