Ashley Cooke celebrates the holiday season with wrapped, her first Christmas EP, released November 6, 2026, through Big Loud Records/Back Blocks Music.
The five-song collection features two original holiday songs alongside three Christmas classics, including a pair of performances featuring members of Cooke's family.
The EP opens with “secret santa,” an upbeat original about asking Santa to deliver a blue-eyed romantic interest who's both naughty and nice. The second original, “wrapped,” was released ahead of the EP on October 16 and centers on the excitement of spending Christmas with someone special.
Cooke also offers her interpretations of “have yourself a merry little christmas,” “silent night,” and “jingle bell rock.”
One of the project's most personal recordings is “silent night (with the cooke family),” which features several of Cooke's relatives performing alongside her. Her sister, Jenn Cooke, and mother, Beth Cooke, also contribute harmonies to “jingle bell rock,” the EP's closing track.
Jacob Durrett, whose credits include Morgan Wallen and Cole Swindell, produced all five songs. The recordings also feature session guitarist Tom Bukovac and drummer Jerry Roe.
