Alanis Morissette Releases First-Ever Holiday Album Featuring Brandi Carlile, Steve Martin and Trans Voices Choir

Alanis Morissette released her first holiday album, Good Weather for Immaculate Conception, on November 6, 2026, through Epiphany Music/Virgin Music — a creative first in a career spanning more than three decades. The 14-track record features two original compositions: 'Christmas on the Dance Floor' and 'To An Empath at Christmas Time,' alongside reinterpretations of seasonal classics including 'O Holy Night,' 'River,' 'Silent Night,' and covers of songs by John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Joni Mitchell. The lead single, 'Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,' features Brandi Carlile and comedian Steve Martin. Other collaborators include Martin Short, Amythyst Kiah, Joy Oladokun (who duets on 'Silent Night'), and Trans Voices — the UK's first professional transgender choir. The release caps a monumental year for the artist that included being honored by the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and an extensive European and UK tour. Morissette built the album by drawing together holiday tracks she had already released over recent years alongside further festive favorites, shaping the collection around themes of seasonal joy, peace, understanding, and empathy.
