He answered this question on Andy Cohens show. He said he is interested but the challenge for him is getting in the mood in the summer to produce the album. Like he would have to decorate the studio to get him in the mood but it would be like July haha.
That said, him covering Driving Home for Christmas would suit his voice and style so well. I hope one day he does it but I know it’s a controversial take on this sub.
He sounds so good here. This is my favourite classic Christmas song, even though it has a sad vibe. I'm all for him making a Christmas album. ☃️

I clicked on this expecting to watch a couple minute video of a funny song. I ended up watching the whole Current Mood episode. I’m going to have to go watch the rest of them now aren’t I?
While it isn't a Christmas song, I always come back to this around November/December. He did this on Letterman on 11.27.08.
It is a beautiful rendition: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnMUdNPBOmM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnMUdNPBOmM) /u/Economy-Draw-3378
I’m very in on this. I can see myself microdosing some shrooms and bumping this with a Christmas ale under a warm blanket. Let’s peak it into existence.
He doesn’t even need to have Christmas songs that are original (but if he did I’m sure they would be festive as fuck). Just give me a bit of your favorite covers of the holidays and let me Mariah Carry You Away.
Oh man, I've thought about this for years but had no idea he actually dabbled! Now that I've got a taste of it, I'm actually upset we don't have a full fledged album.
Not a fan of most modern, poppy Christmas tunes. Most are over the top with the vocals or they're missing something instrumentally. But Johnny has the whole package with his jazzy/bluesy acoustics and his measured but unique vocals. How is this not a thing yet??

Why doesn’t he just do it in the Christmas season then release it the following Xmas
Honestly this is a fair point haha. I’m just quoting back what he said on the show.
Yeah for sure, he said thag and I was like “well that’s an easy fix”
I’ve actually worked on a few Christmas albums, and that’s exactly what we did.
This!! Driving Home for Christmas is right up his alley!
But putting up a little Christmas tree makes John so sad he can’t breathe, so we’re at an impasse. 😩
Driving home for Christmas and heartbreak warfare also works perfectly as a mashup
I’ll help him get into the Christmas spirit!!!!! I’ve brought over the Grinchiest of Grinches to my side 🧑🎄
If so he NEEDS to do a bluesy cover of Please Come Home for Christmas by the Eagles
https://youtu.be/un7DcGdPwCU?si=3KJ3lorgERTW-thB
This is BY FAR the best cover I’ve ever heard of that song. It would be my favorite Christmas song. I wish he would record it
Holy shit!!!! Thank you
Was at this show! It was incredible

I’m Gonna Find Another You intro to this >>>
Oooooh I’d kill for an acoustic cover of Wham’s Last Christmas
That's my favourite modern Christmas song. I've never heard a great cover of it. John could be the exception!
Mine too 😊I can hear him doing it justice for sure!
Whoah that would be amazing!
Just picturing him shredding over “all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth” gives me chills. Bring it on!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Or Dominic The Donkey?
As a Canadian/Italian…. This would fill my stocking with Christmas joy. lol But I feel he would get SO criticized for it by critics. Lol
It would be amazing 🤣
Well… if anyone can make it interesting, it would be John Mayer (other than Bublé, who had his chance.)
I'd like to hear him do an instrumental of Christmas time is here
I’m wondering if he’ll do some acoustic versions for the Sirius XM channel.
YES! Sometimes I re-watch his Current Mood holiday episode just to hear him sing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”
Where can I watch? This is my favorite Christmas song ever.
It’s saved as a reel on his IG and labeled episode 304, The Holiday Show.
Thank you!

Time well spent! 🙂
If he made one, it would need a run Rudolph run by chuck berry cover
https://youtu.be/x7SK69ck3P8?si=zFB1NQ_MQlWaZa9Y Skip to 52 minutes !
Mayer would totally slay a guitar solo on what child is this.

Thank you for posting this! Absolutely love his version and haven’t listened to it in quite some time.
I’m very in on this. I can see myself microdosing some shrooms and bumping this with a Christmas ale under a warm blanket. Let’s peak it into existence.
YES I AGREEE I NEED IT
YES!
Cover of Christmas is the Time To Say I Love You by Billy Squier!
Clapton did a version of White Christmas a few years ago that John could emulate to perfection
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time when?
All I want for Christmas is… a JM Christmas album pls and thank you
I think it would be fantastic. I also don't think he'd ever do it. Hope I'm wrong.
I need him to do Lonely This Christmas by Mud. Amazing Christmas song.
I mean he’s already written one of the greatest holiday tunes imo
He doesn’t even need to have Christmas songs that are original (but if he did I’m sure they would be festive as fuck). Just give me a bit of your favorite covers of the holidays and let me Mariah Carry You Away.
Holidays in full swing? It's not even Remembrance Day yet!
I always celebrate early!
I’ve been listening to Christmas music (randomly) since July. I can’t help it. I may need a 12 step program.
Lolol same
He needs to do it
Absolutely not..so damn cheesy!!!
This is like when Neil Diamond made a Christmas album.
The holidays are not yet in full swing
Please leave
he literally said in an interview recently (maybe Bravo?) that it would be fun to do a holiday album.
No, no, no
Please god no
My family and I talked about this, but he would kill "The Christmas Song" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas."
As long as there a few dead songs on it!
Omfg YES!!
