Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Darlene Love, famously dubbed the Queen of Christmas by none other than Mariah Carey, announces her highly anticipated 2025 holiday tour, Love for the Holidays.
Darlene Love’s voice is etched into the very soul of the holiday season. Her signature recordings on the legendary Phil Spector Christmas Album—including “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” “White Christmas,” “Winter Wonderland,” and “Marshmallow World”—remain among the most enduring and beloved holiday songs of all time. Her unmistakable vocals have also become a familiar sound in American film and television, featured in holiday classics like Home Alone 2, The Godfather, Father of the Bride, and hundreds of TV shows, films, and commercials.
Love began her career in the early 1960s, emerging from Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” as one of the most powerful and unforgettable voices in pop and soul. She quickly became the go-to vocalist for legends like Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, Dionne Warwick, and Bruce Springsteen. Over the years, her voice has become a seasonal soundtrack for millions—and one that critics and fans alike consider irreplaceable. In fact, Rolling Stone magazine has named her one of the greatest singers of all time, and few would disagree.
Over the decades, Love has built a remarkable holiday performance legacy. She famously performed “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on The Late Show with David Letterman for 28 consecutive years, creating one of the most cherished traditions in late-night TV history. Letterman himself once said, “Darlene’s voice is the sound of Christmas.” That legacy continued when she joined her dear friend Cher in 2023 for a stunning duet at the nationally televised Christmas in Rockefeller Center tree lighting ceremony. The following year, in 2024, she brought the house down on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon during the show’s holiday episode with an all-star performance alongside Steven Van Zandt and Paul Shaffer. She also graced daytime television for eight straight years on The View, bringing festive cheer into millions of homes each December.
Her most iconic holiday song even includes some iconic backup: Cher was one of the original background vocalists on “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” and still calls it her favorite holiday song of all time.
Now, at 84 years young, Darlene Love shows no signs of slowing down. Her energy, grace, and unmistakable powerhouse voice continue to inspire, uplift, and electrify audiences. “I’m beyond thrilled to be getting back on the road this November,” Love shares. “Sharing these songs and moments with fans each year means everything to me. To still be doing what I love at 84 is a gift I’ll never stop being grateful for.”
In addition to her return to the stage, Darlene has just wrapped filming on a brand-new docuseries, set to debut in 2026, chronicling her extraordinary life and musical legacy.
Her upcoming Love for the Holidays tour promises to be an unforgettable celebration of music, memory, and pure holiday magic, led by one of the most iconic and enduring voices in music history.
