The song and video are available now
Skillet has released their first-ever Christmas recording, “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” accompanied by a powerful and moving music video, via Hear It Loud.
The release caps off a massive year that included packed shows across Europe last summer and a sold-out Central and South American tour in Mexico City, Lima, Buenos Aires, and Santiago, which preceded the November 6th launch of The Awakening Tour with Jeremy Camp.
Fans can tune in on YouTube on December 2nd to join Skillet for A Rock Feed Christmas Special, an evening of music, conversation, and surprises. The event will feature a special live Q&A with U.S. military veterans, presented in partnership with Vet Tix, a nonprofit organization the band has long supported. This season, Skillet is spotlighting Vet Tix alongside St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to encourage continued giving and awareness.
“Our fans have been demanding a Christmas song for years, and we are so thrilled to have finally recorded one,” say John and Korey Cooper. “We arranged and produced it ourselves, so we were able to put our heart and soul into it. Making a classic piece sound like Skillet was the mission, and we can’t wait for fans to hear it!”
Reinforcing their reputation as a band with a massive global impact, earlier this fall, Skillet announced their return to Europe in the spring of 2026. The spring tour will hit 23 cities, including London, Glasgow, Paris, Munich, Warsaw and Barcelona.
