The Pistol Annies are coming out guns blazing this holiday season with their first Christmas album, Hell of a Holiday, arriving Oct. 22. Fans can check out the project’s first release, “Snow Globe,” here.

Hell of a Holiday includes 10 original tracks written by the Annies with their signature humor. The title track describes the holiday whirlwind that arrives every year, while “Snow Globe” showcases a romantic winter wonderland. The project also features the Pistols’ take on standards, including “Sleigh Ride,” and Merle Haggard’s “If We Make it Through December,” plus a reimagined “Auld Lang Syne.”

“We couldn’t be happier we got to make a Christmas album. Once we finally surrendered and let the Christmas songwriting spirit take over, we were so inspired and felt that magic on every single one of these songs,” the trio of Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, and Angaleena Presley shared. “We hope to be a part of so many people’s Christmas memories for years to come.”

The project marks the fourth studio album for the trio, following their Grammy-nominated 2018 project Interstate Gospel. They recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of their Platinum-certified debut single “Hell on Heels,” the title track of their first album.
