A sprawling, 5-disc collection of Christmas songs, "Songs for Christmas" features original material alongside Stevens's idiosyncratic arrangements of holiday classics.
- The album compiles five previously self-released EPs: "Joye to the World," "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," "Now That the Season Is Right," "The Infinite Gifts of Christmas," and "Peace on Earth."
- The release was a departure from the more conceptual, state-focused Illinois, offering a more intimate and whimsical glimpse into Stevens's holiday traditions.
- A music video was released for the song "Come On! Let's Go!" which featured holiday cheer and a singalong-style performance.
Sufjan Stevens is an American musician, singer, and songwriter from Michigan, known for his work across indie folk, electronic, and chamber pop genres. At the time of "Songs for Christmas," Stevens was riding high on the critical acclaim of his Illinois cycle, exploring a vast sonic palette.
