Celeste Marie Wilson’s 2026 release calendar pairs her debut album with her first venture into Christmas music. Following Southern American Princess, dated September 18, her three-song EP Christmas At Home is set to arrive on November 6 through Little Dipper Record Company. The holiday project offers a different setting for the country singer-songwriter’s voice.
Wilson has been building momentum through songs including “Jesus, Tequila and Whiskey,” which earned her first national chart entry on the MusicRow CountryBreakout chart. “What Else Could I Need” has also been climbing the Texas Regional Radio Charts. Another release, “Marie,” draws on the true story of her great-grandparents’ romance in the 1930s and is available through Grassroots.
For Christmas At Home, producer Josh David Walker helps place Wilson’s vocals within a warm, acoustic Americana sound. The EP features “Jingle Bells,” “Away in a Manger” and “Winter Wonderland,” with relaxed rhythms supporting melodies listeners already know. Its approach favors sing-along familiarity over extensive changes to the original songs.
The collection’s personal connection comes from Wilson’s family Christmas traditions, including homemade treats, fireside gatherings and singing with her siblings. Those experiences shape a release centered on the everyday moments of the holiday season. After introducing her debut album, Wilson will close out her release year with an invitation to make these familiar songs part of celebrations at home.
