Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas drops this fall
Record-breaking rock powerhouse The Pretty Reckless is ushering in the holiday season with a special surprise for fans both old and new. The chart-topping band, fronted by Taylor Momsen, has released an electrifying, reimagined version of “Where Are You Christmas,” the beloved holiday classic Momsen first performed as Cindy Lou Who in the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The track will appear on their upcoming holiday EP, Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas, set for release on October 31st digitally and November 14th physically, via Fearless Records.
“Revisiting ‘Where Are You Christmas’ 25 years later feels like coming home to a part of myself I hadn’t seen in a long time,” Momsen shares. “I was just a child when I first sang it, and I never could’ve imagined the way the song, and the film, would stay with people for so long and unknowingly shape my career path as an adult. Recording it now, with all the life I’ve lived in between, I hear it through a different lens.. but the heart of it is the same. It’s about wonder, hope, and holding on to the magic – something I think we all need more than ever.”
This marks the first time Momsen has revisited the song since The Grinch’s release 25 years ago, taking the heartwarming generational ballad and turning it into a rock anthem. Celebrating the film’s 25th anniversary, the performance serves as both a tribute to the classic and a bold reimagining for a new generation. With her strong vocals and signature edge, Momsen breathes new life into the timeless track, bridging the gap between her early Hollywood beginnings and the unapologetic artistry that has defined The Pretty Reckless’ sound.
Alongside the new version of “Where Are You Christmas,” the EP will feature four additional original holiday songs, all wrapped in their trademark sound. The set showcases The Pretty Reckless at their most dynamic, proving that even Christmas music can be rock ‘n’ roll.
