THE PRETTY RECKLESS is ushering in the holiday season with a special surprise for fans both old and new. The chart-topping band, fronted by Taylor Momsen, had released an electrifying, reimagined version of “Where Are You Christmas”, the beloved holiday classic Momsen first performed as Cindy Lou Who in the 2000 film “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”. The track will appear on THE PRETTY RECKLESS‘s upcoming holiday EP, “Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas”, set for release on October 31 digitally, and November 14 physically, via Fearless Records.

Watch  “Where Are You Christmas” below. 

Momsen comments: “Revisiting ‘Where Are You Christmas’ 25 years later feels like coming home to a part of myself I hadn’t seen in a long time. I was just a child when I first sang it, and I never could’ve imagined the way the song, and the film, would stay with people for so long and unknowingly shape my career path as an adult. Recording it now, with all the life I’ve lived in between, I hear it through a different lens.. but the heart of it is the same. It’s about wonder, hope, and holding on to the magic — something I think we all need more than ever.”

This marks the first time Momsen has revisited the song since “The Grinch”‘s release 25 years ago, taking the heartwarming generational ballad and turning it into a rock anthem. Celebrating the film’s 25th anniversary, the performance serves as both a tribute to the classic and a bold reimagining for a new generation. With her strong vocals and signature edge, Momsen breathes new life into the timeless track, bridging the gap between her early Hollywood beginnings and the unapologetic artistry that has defined THE PRETTY RECKLESS‘s sound.

Alongside the new version of “Where Are You Christmas”“Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas” will feature four additional original holiday songs, all wrapped in their trademark sound. The EP showcases THE PRETTY RECKLESS at their most dynamic, proving that even Christmas music can be rock ‘n’ roll.

Last August, THE PRETTY RECKLESS released a single, “For I Am Death”. The song comes ahead of a newly recorded album. 

Watch “For I Am Death” below. 

Speaking about the song, THE PRETTY RECKLESS frontwoman Taylor Momsen said: “With ‘For I Am Death’, I want the music to speak for itself, allowing the listener to decide what it means to them. The interpretation of the song might align with my own, or it might come from the heart of the audience. Either way, I’m excited to see what people take away from it and what it means to them. Oh, and rock and roll will never die.”

The music video, directed by Lewis Cater, was released alongside the single, which sees Taylor transform into a malevolent and haunting figure. Surrounded by sinister forces, she represents the personification of death that she embodied when writing the song.

The album “DEATH BY ROCK AND ROLL” followed 2010’s “Light Me Up”, 2014’s “Going to Hell”, and 2016’s “Who You Selling For”, is titled after the first single.
