Celeste Marie Wilson Keeps Familiar Melodies at the Heart of Christmas At Home
A Christmas standard does not always need a dramatic makeover to feel personal. Celeste Marie Wilson takes that approach on Christmas At Home, her first holiday EP, due November 6, 2026, via Little Dipper Record Company. The three-track collection retains the melodies of its well-loved songs while presenting them through her Southern Americana style.
The release brings another dimension to a career that includes both chart activity and songwriting recognition. Wilson’s “Jesus, Tequila and Whiskey” secured her first national entry on the MusicRow CountryBreakout chart, and she has been named a 2026 Women Songwriters Hall of Fame Ambassador. Her debut album, Southern American Princess, has a September 18, 2026, release date, preceding the Christmas project.
For the EP, Wilson and producer Josh David Walker bring together acoustic textures, relaxed rhythms and inviting vocals on “Jingle Bells,” “Away in a Manger” and “Winter Wonderland.” The sound reflects the easygoing togetherness of Wilson’s holiday traditions, from singing with her siblings to sharing homemade hot chocolate around a backyard fire pit.
Rather than positioning the collection as a departure from Christmas tradition, Wilson makes familiarity its defining feature. The songs are intended to accompany tree decorating, journeys home and gatherings with loved ones. When Christmas At Home arrives in November, it will offer a concise seasonal collection rooted in the enduring appeal of songs people can share.
