Have Your Merry Christmas With Me by Kat Edmonson plays like the soundtrack to a classic romantic comedylush, witty, soulful, and filled with longing, flirtation, and holiday warmth. Romantic bossa novas mingle with a tropical, 1960s-cocktail-party take on Jingle Bells, the swinging jazz-gospel exuberance of Hark! The Herald Angels Swing, and an achingly soulful transformation of Allen Toussaints Its Raining into Its Snowing. Two beautifully crafted originals, Have Your Merry Christmas With Me and Hush! Theres a Falling Snow, feel instantly at home among the standards, with the timelessness of future holiday classics. Bringing the music to the stage, Kat Edmonsons 2026 Have Your Merry Christmas With Me Holiday Tour promises an unforgettable evening of festive charm, featuring sparkling new selections alongside beloved songs from her acclaimed catalog. After enchanting audiences year after year, she returns with the warmth, wit, and effortless elegance that have made her one of todays most distinctive jazz vocalists.
