The digital EP will feature holiday favorites including the title track and “O Come All Ye Faithful,” as well as “Go Tell It on the Mountain” and the inspiring “New Again,” which Sara and Brad Paisley co-wrote and perform together here.  The arrival of I’ll Be Home for Christmas marks the first time these four tracks (previously available on selected various artist projects) have been brought together in one collection.

The release also arrives just in time to coincide with the November 27 launch of Sara’s Celebrate the Season tour, which spans more than a dozen West Coast dates through December 14.  Each show will ring in the holidays and give concertgoers everything they’ve come to love about Sara, with one set of music focused on songs of the season, while a second set will spotlight some of her biggest hits.
