Jennifer Nettles Confirms Christmas Album

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ... for Jennifer Nettles, at least. The singer is the latest country artist to share that she has a holiday album on the way, although she didn't announce it herself — it was Dolly Parton who first broke the news.

During a Facebook Live chat with fans, Parton spilled the beans on Nettles' Christmas album and confessed that she'll be releasing a Christmas record of her own next year.

“I did a Christmas album years and years and years ago,” Parton told fans on Facebook, “But I am going to do a new one that’s going to include things from the new Christmas movie, Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love. There’s a song called 'Circle of Love' and I think Jennifer Nettles is also including that song in her new Christmas album that’s coming out this year. I will have it in the one that comes out next year."

When a fan reached out to Nettles to ask about the news, the Sugarland singer confirmed Parton's statement:

Nettles joins a slew of country acts that have announced the release of a 2016 Christmas album. Last week, Brett Eldredge told fans about his Sinatra-themed holiday album.

“I’ve been waiting my whole life to record a certain kind of album. I told you I had big news today. I got big news,” Eldredge says on Snapchat. “I’m gonna have a Christmas album coming out this year."

Reba McEntire, Kacey Musgraves, Chris Young and Rascal Flatts will also release holiday albums this year.
