Cali Tucker Revives Christmas Classics With Soul, Sparkle, and Country Glam on Her New Holiday EP “Santa Baby”
Las Vegas–based country singer Cali Tucker steps confidently into the holiday spotlight with her festive new EP, “Santa Baby,” a six-track collection that blends classic Christmas nostalgia with her unmistakable vocal power and charismatic flair. Already boasting more than 10 million digital streams in the past year, a streak of sold-out shows, and multiple award-winning music videos, Cali enters the 2025 holiday season with a project that feels both timeless and uniquely her own. As the niece of country legend Tanya Tucker and daughter of hitmaker LaCosta Tucker, Cali proudly carries the Tucker legacy into a modern era, and Santa Baby is a shining example of that lineage refreshed with contemporary style.
The project arrives during a milestone year for Cali, and its creation carries emotional weight. Produced by Ryan Whyte Maloney, Cali’s close friend and fellow contestant from The Voice, the EP becomes a heartfelt tribute following his passing earlier this year. Cali’s words, honoring Ryan’s influence and mentorship, give the EP a tender undercurrent of gratitude and remembrance that listeners can feel woven throughout each track.
Opening with the sultry title track “Santa Baby,” Cali delivers a playful, velvety take on the standard, layering flirtation with vocal confidence. Her tone is warm and charismatic, embodying the fun of the season while showcasing the effortless control that has made her a standout performer in the Las Vegas entertainment scene.
A standout on the EP, “Please Come Home for Christmas,” highlights Cali’s soulful side. Her interpretation is emotional and heartfelt, balancing sorrow with hope in a way that honors the original while making the song distinctly her own. The EP then shifts into a lighter mood with “Mele Kalikimaka,” where Cali leans into a breezy island groove that feels refreshing, joyful, and instantly playlist-ready.
Cali reaches her vocal peak with “O Holy Night,” delivering a soaring and reverent performance that reveals both her technical range and emotional depth. It’s a version strong enough to convert even the most stubborn holiday cynics. The final two tracks, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “The Christmas Song,” embrace the warmth of tradition with comforting arrangements and expressive phrasing that highlight her ability to elevate familiar classics.
What makes Santa Baby exceptional is Cali Tucker’s ability to merge country roots with contemporary polish. Her voice is rich, dynamic, and full of personality qualities that have earned her appearances at the Grand Ole Opry, The Voice, countless Las Vegas venues, and a shelf of prestigious awards. The EP not only adds her name to the roster of artists who’ve reimagined Christmas standards it also reinforces her identity as a rising country powerhouse capable of delivering emotion, glamour, and storytelling in every note. Cali Tucker doesn’t just sing the classics; she revives them with warmth, reverence, and a signature sparkle all her own.
