Ashley Cooke has released wrapped, her first holiday EP, through Big Loud Records/Back Blocks Music. Out November 6, the five-song collection pairs two new originals with three Christmas favorites and brings members of her family into the recordings.
Jacob Durrett produced the project, which opens with “secret santa” and includes the previously released title track. Cooke also revisits “have yourself a merry little christmas,” “silent night” and “jingle bell rock.”
The family appearances give the EP its most personal connection. “silent night (with the cooke family)” brings several relatives into a version accented by pedal steel. Cooke’s sister Jenn and mother Beth return on “jingle bell rock” to close the collection with harmonies.
The musicians include guitarist Tom Bukovac and drummer Jerry Roe. Across the five songs, the project moves between a wistful Christmas ballad, familiar seasonal favorites and Cooke’s own holiday love songs.
The release follows Cooke’s self-titled sophomore album and arrives during the baby blues world tour. The tour continues in early 2027, with its finale set for February 25 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
