Happy Xmas will be released on October 12 and features several classic Christmas songs. In addition, Clapton also included the unreleased “For Love On Christmas Day”.

In an interview with Billboard, the musician stated:

“I had in mind that these Christmas songs could be done with a light touch of blues, and I started to figure out how to play the blues lines between the vocals. I got one of the album’s most recognizable songs, which became the base style, is ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’.”
