Everyday Is Christmas is the eighth studio album and first Christmas Album by Australian singer-songwriter Sia, released in November 2017 by Atlantic Records and Monkey Puzzle. Her first album with Atlantic, it features original Christmas songs. Initially released with ten tracks in 2017, the album has since been reissued in 2018, 2021, and 2022 with new bonus tracks each time. The lead single, “Santa’s Coming For Us”, was released in October 2017, and “Snowman” was released as the second in November.
Sia confirmed the release of her first Christmas album in August 2017, alongside the announcement that she had left RCA Records and signed for Atlantic. The album became her first release through Atlantic and features original songs co-written with long time collaborator Greg Kurstin, who worked heavily on Sia’s previous three studio albums: We Are Born (2010), 1000 Forms of Fear (2014) and This Is Acting (2016). Sia’s frequent dance collaborator, Maddie Ziegler, is featured on the album cover. The standard version of the album consists of ten songs, all produced by Kurstin.
Recording sessions for the album took place over two weeks in May 2017 and left Sia and Kurstin “laughing at the end of each day”. In September, Kurstin said of working on the album with Sia: I don’t know how she comes up with song lyric and melody ideas so quickly. She wrote these new Christmas stories. I’m still sort of new at this Christmas thing. It took me back to when we used to get into jazz chord changes. There’s some really fun uptempo Christmas jams, and then there’s also some Sia ballads.
The album was released in November 2017. In Japan, an exclusive domestic bonus track titled “My Old Santa Claus” was included on the CD. The song was later included on the deluxe edition of the album, released in November 2018, alongside “Sing for My Life” and a cover of Perry Como’s “Round and Round”. In the United States, the deluxe edition CD was released as a Target exclusive.
In November 2021, another deluxe edition was released. Subtitled the Snowman Deluxe Edition, it included three bonus tracks, in addition to those on the 2018 deluxe edition: “Pin Drop”, “Santa Visits Everyone”, and the “Slowed Down & Snowed In TikTok Remix” of “Snowman”. In November 2022, the Snowman Deluxe Edition was reissued with four additional tracks: “Naughty & Nice”, “12 Nights”, “3 Minutes ‘Til New Years”, and a sped-up version of “Snowman”. “2 Minutes ‘Til New Years” was included on yet another digital reissue of the album in December 2022.
