Acclaimed singer-songwriter, hymnwriter, and modern liturgist Sandra McCracken is welcoming the holiday season with the release of "White Christmas," the first single from her forthcoming Christmas EP. The new track, available today on all major streaming platforms, offers an inviting blend of classic holiday nostalgia and McCracken's signature folk-rooted sincerity.
Recorded recently at the historic Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, this new version of "White Christmas" marks the first in a series of seasonal recordings that McCracken crafted with a close-knit team of trusted collaborators. With its warm acoustic foundation, understated elegance, and gentle emotional pull, the track captures the timeless charm of Irving Berlin's classic while infusing it with McCracken's unique melodic sensibilities.
"This is the first of several recordings we made recently at Sound Emporium Studios," McCracken shared. "We're happy to share this new version of 'White Christmas' with you this holiday week." Her announcement signals the beginning of a new musical chapter for the approaching season, with more songs set to follow in the coming weeks.
