The duo offers renditions of a trio of Christmas classics “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” “The Christmas Song” and “White Christmas.” They join the six songs that appeared on the original EP: “This Christmas,” “Holly Jolly Christmas,” “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” “We Need Christmas” and the original track, “Merry Married Christmas.”
“We had so much fun making and releasing We Need Christmas, we decided to extend it!” Maddie & Tae said in a press release. “We hope y’all feel the joy and spirit.”

“What made us women was failure—us just figuring out that if we want to be happy in life, we need to make that decision for ourselves,” Font told American Songwriter about their 2021 single “Woman You Got.”
“Back then, we were so young, and when you’re young, you put your value into so many things you shouldn’t. But, as we tried, failed, and got back up, we learned,” Kerr added. “Now we know who we are—we’re not perfect and we don’t want to be.”
Font (whose maiden name is Marlow) married her high school sweetheart Jonah Font in November 2019 while Kerr (maiden name Dye) married hit songwriter Josh Kerr in February 2020. Both singers are now mothers. Kerr gave birth to daughter Leighton Grace in January 2022 while the Fonts welcomed son Forrest Henry in September 2023. The duo released their latest single, “Heart They Didn’t Break,” in July 2023.
