Christian Rock mainstays Skillet have announced a new Christmas single is set to release this Friday, November 14. “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” will mark the band’s first foray into Christmas music in their nearly 30-year career.

Fans have long clamored for the band to record a Christmas song of some sort, but until now, such a request has never materialized. It’s unclear if this is just a one-off single or if a larger Christmas project of some sort is in the works. 

Skillet has been one of Christian music’s most successful and recognizable bands with a career dating back to the mid-1990s. Hit songs like “Hero,” “Monster,” and “Feel Invincible” were legitimate hits in the mainstream. Starting with 2024’s Revolution, the band has operated independently, offering them a newfound sense of creative freedom that makes projects like this more possible.
