Alanis Morissette Says She’s Teaming Up With Martin Short & Toasting ‘To an Empathic Christmas Time’ on First Holiday Album

Alanis Morissette and Martin Short are joining forces for a song on Morissette's upcoming holiday album, according to a recent interview. The collaboration will feature a rendition of a Judy Garland classic, marking an unexpected pairing between the singer and the comic actor. Morissette also mentioned that she and Short will be toasting "To an Empathic Christmas Time" during the album's release.

The singer has been recording a holiday song each Christmas for the past few years, eventually accumulating enough material to create a full-length album. Her favorite tracks to sing include "What Child Is This" and "Little Drummer Boy." In addition to the original songs, the album will also include new recordings such as "To an Empathic Christmas Time" and "Christmas on the Dance Floor."

Morissette described the project as a "labor of Christmas love," highlighting how her enthusiasm for the holiday has grown since her son Ever was born on Christmas Day. The album is not the only thing she is working on; she is also set to begin a new Los Angeles residency, Butterfly With a Machete, in November. The show blends music with storytelling and reflections from her life, including her experiences with menopause and aging.
