Source-derived summary

Everyday Is Christmas is the eighth studio album and first Christmas album by Australian singer-songwriter Sia, released on 17 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 on 30 October 2017, and "Snowman" was released as the second on 9 November.

Recording and release

Sia confirmed the release of her first Christmas album on 1 August 2017, alongside the announcement that she had left RCA Records and signed for Atlantic Records. The album became her first release through Atlantic and features original songs co-written with longtime 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.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Everyday Is Christmas (album)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Everyday, Christmas and album provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q42120196. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2018, 2021 and 2022.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
