Alanis Morissette is thrilled to announce her first-ever holiday album – Good Weather for Immaculate Conception – set for release on November 6, 2026 via Epiphany Music/Virgin Music. The record features two new original festive songs – “Christmas on the Dance Floor” and “To An Empath at Christmas Time,” – in addition to a plethora of holiday classics brought to life by Alanis’ generation-defining voice and perspective on the season.
Good Weather for Immaculate Conception also sees Alanis collaborating with a coterie of incredible talent, including Brandi Carlile, actor/comedian/musician Martin Short, actor/comedian/musician Steve Martin, singer/songwriter Amythyst Kiah, singer/songwriter Joy Oladokun, and Trans Voices, the UK’s first professional trans choir. The album’s first song, “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem” featuring Brandi Carlile and Steve Martin is available to hear now. A full track list for the record is below.

Morissette began a tradition of putting out yearly holiday songs over the last few years. Good Weather for Immaculate Conception includes the tracks she’s already released as well as many of her other holiday favorites into a brilliant collection of songs for seasonal joy, peace, understanding, and – most importantly – empathy.
Morissette’s first holiday album rounds out a monumental year for an artist who has had many under her belt. In June, she was honored by the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, in addition to singing the Canadian national anthem at the first game in Toronto for the World Cup. She played massive, sold out shows throughout the UK and Europe this summer. She will soon be launching the new iteration of her celebrated, critically acclaimed residency show, Butterfly with a Machete, in Los Angeles, on November 5th at the YouTube Theater.
Alanis also became a global headline with a surprise appearance at the inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Festival, joining Olivia Rodrigo on stage to sing her massive hit “Ironic” in a beautiful Dries Van Noten ensemble to absolutely rapturous response. Indeed, Morisette’s influence – as well as the deep reverence for her work – has never been felt more within the zeitgeist, continuing her decades-long reign as one of culture’s most important voices, both onstage and off.
