Nashville, TN... November 14, 2025 - 22x platinum rock band SKILLET has released its first-ever Christmas recording, O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” accompanied by a powerful and moving music video, which was also featured in social collab with FOX & Friends. 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 6 launch of The Awakening Tour with Jeremy Camp.




Fans can tune in on YouTube on December 2 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 the spring of 2026. The spring tour will hit 23 cities including London, Glasgow, Paris, Munich, Warsaw and Barcelona, with tickets on sale now at Skillet.com.

ABOUT SKILLET: After nearly three decades, eleven albums, and thousands of shows worldwide, SKILLET play louder, fight harder, and sound more rebellious than ever. As of 2024, the band have received two GRAMMY® Award nominations, picked up a Billboard Music Award, and landed three albums in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. Selling over 22 million units worldwide, they have notched multiplatinum, platinum, or gold RIAA certifications for a total of 12 singles and four full-length albums. Not to mention, they have regularly attracted over 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify, boasting “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time” with the 5x-platinum “Monster.” Their presence has impressively surged throughout popular culture with syncs by WWE, Marvel, ESPN, and NFL in addition to coverage from USA Today, The New York Times, and more. As a live force of nature, they have touched down on five continents and in 32 countries, packing arenas everywhere from the Middle East to Russia. Not to mention, Skillet expanded their world with the graphic novel series EDEN. The first installment stood out as Z2 Comics’ best-selling book of all-time. Now, the global hard rock quartet—John Cooper [lead vocals, bass], Korey Cooper [guitar, keys], Jen Ledger [drums, vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitar]—deliver an insurgent, infectious, and inimitable body of work with their twelfth full-length offering and first-ever independent album, REVOLUTION, led by the single “Unpopular" and focus tracks "All That Matters" and "Ash In The Wind."
