It’s time to let go of your old Christmas Playlist and get tuned to this Festive treat from the sensational Cali Tucker. It’s been a massive year for Cali Tucker and she’s wrapping it up with this pure gold: A six track EP, Santa Baby. This holiday album is a dose of warmth, soul and pure vocal sparkle ready to dominate your stereo and streaming queues worldwide.
If you’re not familiar with Cali Tucker, here’s the rundown; she comes from Country Music royalty. She carries that legacy with incredible grace and talent while she carves her own lane to speak perfectly to a new generation. Her career has been built on solid foundation and has since become a major headliner in Los Vegas, performing at top venues like Aria, The Wynn and MGM Grand.
Journalists—including People Magazine—have praised her as “a blend of sweet and sassy… addictive,” and that’s exactly what you get from Santa Baby.
Cali Tucker is not just famous, she’s on fire and racking up major stats. This year alone, she hit over 10 million digital streams, has four different singles spinning on radio, and her mantelpiece is overflowing with awards for her Music videos and songs.
Her Live shows are nothing but Legendary. She captivates her audience with a powerful voice, great humor and an amazing showmanship. Cali is not just rising; she is a Star destined for the Top. With a captivating new touring show on the way for 2026, Tucker has firmly established herself as an artist you absolutely must follow.
Santa Baby isn’t just another cozy holiday project—it’s a tribute. The entire EP is dedicated to Ryan Whyte Maloney, Cali’s longtime friend and the EP’s producer, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Cali and Ryan’s friendship go way back—they met on Season 6 of NBC’s The Voice, where they battled on Team Blake Shelton. Their bond shaped her life in ways that went far beyond a TV moment.
Cali says it best:
“Ryan changed my life in ways I can never repay… He gave me a Master Class in artistry, pushing me to be my absolute best. Every time I step on a stage, he’s with me. This release is dedicated to Ryan.”
You can feel the Love through this EP. The blend of warmth, soul, and sparkle shows up in all six songs on Santa Baby.
For me, here’s what stood out in this EP.
SANTA BABY: The title track is everything you want it to be—sultry, flirty, smooth. Cali leans fully into the song’s playful nature without overdoing it. Honestly, it’s the kind of version you put on while decorating the tree with a hot cocoa in hand.
PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS: This one hit me right in the heart. Cali’s voice gets so soulful here, full of longing and honesty. Knowing the emotional meaning behind the EP makes this track even more powerful.
MELE KALIKIMAKA: I did not expect this to be such a bright moment on the EP. Cali gives it a fun, tropical lift that makes you feel like you’re spending Christmas on a beach somewhere. It’s light, playful, and a total vibe.
O HOLY NIGHT: Let me tell you—Cali soars on this one. It’s the big, goosebump-giving song of the entire project. Even the grumpiest Grinch will melt a little when they hear her hit those notes. This one is pure holiday magic.
HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS: Simple, classic, and beautifully done. Cali gives it a gentle glow that reminds me of the version from Meet Me in St. Louis but adds her own warmth to it.
THE CHRISTMAS SONG: She closes the EP with Mel Tormé’s timeless favorite, and it feels like sitting by a fireplace with a blanket and a warm drink. It’s cozy comfort in song form.
Santa Baby is the perfect blend of classic holiday charm and vocal brilliance. It’s festive and it proves why Cali Tucker is one of the most exciting voices working today. Add this EP to your list now!
