Recent EGOT winner John Legend always seems to be ahead of the times.
This year, he’s even celebrating Christmas in October.
A Legendary Christmas will also feature eight classic Christmas songs, including “Silver Bells,” “Christmas Time Is Here,” and “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire).” The album is executive-produced by Raphael Saadiq, with additional vocals from jazz bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding on “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and harmonica from Stevie Wonder on “What Christmas Means to Me,” the first track on the LP.
Columbia Records will release A Legendary Christmas on Oct. 26, giving fans ample time to get into the holiday spirit. However, it seems that the 39-year-old musician has been celebrating the season for months: Teigen mentioned the project back in July, when she posted a Boomerang of her husband dancing to his new tunes on Twitter.

To accompany the album, the “All of Me” singer will embark on a 25-date national tour, beginning Nov. 15 in Clearwater, Florida, and wrapping up on Dec. 30 in San Diego.
