What Christmas Dreams Are Made Of: Hilary Duff Announces Holiday EP Featuring 3 Original Songs

What Christmas Dreams Are Made Of: Hilary Duff Announces Holiday EP Featuring 3 Original Songs

Christmas is coming early for Hilary Duff‘s fans. The singer-actress announced Wednesday (Oct. 21) that she’s releasing her very own holiday EP, featuring three original songs.

Set for release on Friday (Oct. 23), Holiday Things will also include a cover of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and an updated version of Duff’s cover of the seasonal Wham! hit “Last Christmas” that appeared on her 2003 Christmas album, Santa Claus Lane. The new original tracks are titled “All You Want for Christmas Is Me” — a play on Mariah Carey’s iconic 22-week Billboard Hot 100-topping smash “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — “I Want (A Few Small Things)” and “I Guess It’s Christmas.”

“I guess Christmas came early … Holiday Things is yours this Friday 10.23,” Duff wrote on Instagram.

The project continues a massive musical renaissance Duff has experienced over the past year. Her first album in a decade, Luck … or Something, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and has fueled her ongoing Lucky Me arena tour. She recently added a slew of extra dates, expanding the trek through November 2027.

“When I think about this era, for me it took a lot of guts,” she said in a recent chat with Billboard. I showed up for sure, but the only reason it’s working is because everyone’s showing up, and I don’t even exactly know why, but I’m really excited to see it and feel it and feel something that I’ve gotten a little taste of now. Obviously it’s in my body from before, but I’m such a different version of myself than I was back then, so it’s really magical to do this again.”

After Luck … or Something, the Lizzie McGuire alum followed it up with an EP of re-recorded versions of her past nostalgic hits titled (Mine). On it were reclaimed editions of 2000s Hot 100 hits such as “Come Clean,” “What Dreams Are Made Of,” “Wake Up” and “So Yesterday.” The star’s most recent release was a single called “CATastrophe” for the upcoming Cat in the Hat movie.

Duff is also set to sit down for a conversation at the Billboard Live Music Summit held Nov. 10 in West Hollywood. She’ll also be honored with Billboard‘s Outstanding Pop Tour of the Year award at the ceremony.

Hilary Duff Shares a Candid Look Backstage at Her “Lucky Me” Tour

Hilary Duff Shares a Candid Look Backstage at Her “Lucky Me” Tour

The millennial icon prepped for her Madison Square Garden show with mahjong and an Aperol spritz.

Lizzie McGuire may have been an outfit repeater, but Hilary Duff certainly isn’t. The actress and singer, who famously played the beloved Disney Channel character in the early 2000s, transformed Madison Square Garden into a millennial wonderland of boas, glitter eyeshadow, and butterfly clips last night for the first of two sold-out stops on her Lucky Me Tour.

“To be honest, repeating outfits is very difficult for me,” she tells ELLE exclusively. Luckily, her long-awaited return to the stage gave her the perfect excuse to collaborate with Gianvito Rossi and celebrity stylist Neelo Noory on a lineup of bespoke looks, including metallic silver leather Hansen boots (very Isabella-coded, if you know, you know), a flower-adorned chainmail top, and a glow-in-the-dark star dress by Kelsey Randall.

“I love the chaos online that the star dress has created, inspiring people to make their own versions of it,” Duff says. “That dress has become an icon itself.”

Below, the star shares more about her tour wardrobe, from her custom footwear to the enduring appeal of a T-shirt and jeans, and what it’s like corralling her kids backstage. “I thrive in chaos,” she says.

How do you like to relax and get in the zone as you prepare for the show?

If time permits, I love a little game of mahjong. I usually have a cute sip of an Aperol spritz; I do my vocal warm-up and I’m usually sitting in the glam chair, scrolling, or trying not to scroll and reading a book or crocheting instead. There are a million things going on: my kids are usually around, and there’s a big checklist of to-dos before I hit the stage. It can be pretty intense, but I thrive in chaos.

How did you decide on the overall fashion direction for the tour?

It started with a mood board on Pinterest. I was really into dreamy pop femme colors that felt like they belonged inside an iridescent bubble. I wanted to represent a sad romantic feel with some edge, a slumber party, and a major fashion moment. My stylist Neelo, her amazing team, and I have collaborated and have had more fittings than anyone can remember. She’s had endless nights of no sleep reaching out to niche designers. And having Gianvito Rossi come to the table to provide custom footwear was a dream come true. I think we executed a world for me to exist within on stage that represents so many versions of who I was, am, and am becoming.

Do you have a favorite outfit?

I am most comfortable in my T-shirt and jeans, but I feel like a total babe at the end of the show in my ultra-glam dress. I love the chaos online that the star dress has created, inspiring people to make their own versions of it. And that dress has become an icon itself.

If you could keep one look from the tour forever, what would it be?
To be honest, repeating outfits is very difficult for me. If I had to pick one for life, it would probably be a slip dress. I feel like I can be many versions of myself in that and pair it with flats, heels, boots, oversize sweaters…can’t go wrong.
