Alanis Morissette Collects Christmas Covers for New Holiday Record
Alanis Morissette will release Good Weather for Immaculate Conception on November 6 through Virgin’s Epiphany imprint. The holiday album gathers Christmas covers she has recorded since 2020 along with additional renditions and two original tracks. Guests include Brandi Carlile, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Amythyst Kiah, Joy Oladokun, and Trans Voices.
Morissette’s holiday project compiles seasonal covers she has issued since 2020, adds further renditions, and includes two new compositions. It arrives November 6 through Virgin’s Epiphany label. The guest list spans Brandi Carlile, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Amythyst Kiah, Joy Oladokun, and Trans Voices; Carlile and Martin appear on “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem.”
Her previous studio album was 2020’s Such Pretty Forks in the Road. This year she entered the Songwriters Hall of Fame and surprised Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields audience by duetting on “Ironic.” Carlile performed Morissette’s “Uninvited” at Newport Folk Festival, and the pair later sang it together at Red Rocks.

The record could give longtime Morissette fans a seasonal entry point while drawing holiday-music listeners who know her mainly through 1990s hits. Its guest mix—folk artists, comedians, and Trans Voices—may widen its reach across generations and communities. Retailers and streaming services could gain another holiday title, and listeners seeking inclusive seasonal fare may find representation. Its impact will likely depend on how broadly the covers and originals resonate beyond her existing audience.
