"It's been about 10 years since I made a Christmas record," Setzer said.
"[Christmas music] just seems to get more popular every year. They're classic songs and you wonder after a couple records how many of them are left. Once you dig in you find, wow! I've haven't done 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree,' you know. I've never done 'Here Comes Santa Claus!'"
Setzer and the Brian Setzer Orchestra are also set to embark on their 12th Annual Christmas Rocks! Tour, the dates of which will be announced in August.
