Stryper Announce Christmas Album 'The Greatest Gift of All'

(Freeman) Stryper are pleased to announce their long-awaited Christmas album, 'The Greatest Gift of All,' due out on November 21st via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate the announcement, the band also shares their new single, "Winter Wonderland," accompanied by a lyric video.

On the new album and single, Michael Sweet comments: "We have wanted to record a Christmas album for many years. Ever since we released our first single ('Reason for the Season') back in 1985, the fans have been asking for a full length Christmas album. Well, the time has finally come.

"We wanted to make an album of five traditional songs and five original songs. To put our own spin on our own Christmas album and not follow the pack so to speak. We could not be more pleased with how it turned out!

"We obviously re-recorded 'Reason for the Season' and 'Winter Wonderland' and we decided to go with 'Winter Wonderland' as the next single just to give you an idea of what it might sound like today in 2025.

"We're happy to say that we finally have our own Christmas album and hopefully it will become a fan favorite year after year."

With 'The Greatest Gift of All,' Stryper answers decades of fan requests crafting a holiday record that blends festive classics, brand-new compositions, and their unmistakable mix of faith, power, and metal energy.

In a move that makes the release even more special, 'The Greatest Gift of All' will be available exclusively in physical formats. Fans can look forward to a collectible release that captures the spirit of the season in true old-school fashion.

Stryper's lineup remains as strong as ever, with founding members Michael Sweet, Robert Sweet, and Oz Fox joined by bassist Perry Richardson. Together, the band continues to deliver at the highest level both in the studio and on stage.

The new album arrives on the heels of Stryper's hugely successful world tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of their formation and the landmark album 'When We Were Kings.' With sold-out performances across the United States, Europe, and South America, the tour reaffirmed the group's status as one of the most enduring and influential forces in Christian rock and heavy metal.
