A Very Laufey Holiday is an EP by Laufey released in November 2024 for the Christmas season. She then went on to release A Very Laufey Holiday: The Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town Edition in December 2025, adding 2 extra songs and making it 7 songs long.
This EP consists of 6 covers and 1 original Christmas song. She adds her own jazzy, classical spin to famous Christmas songs to put fans in the mood for the season. The album contains a duet featuring Dodie on the track “Love to Keep Me Warm.” Laufey adds her own classical instrumentals and ideas to these tracks to bring them to life and add her own touch.
A Very Laufey Holiday is, while mostly full of covers, original and unique work created by Laufey. She takes already created songs and makes them her own with the instrumentals and strong vocals. She makes the songs new and beautiful, capturing the Christmas spirit and making the perfect winter EP. It is difficult to take something and make it your own, and she did it extremely well. It is a unique album perfect for Christmas.
While it is a unique work, it is very short and lacking in certain areas. It is sophisticated and jazzy, but it isn’t as catchy or memorable compared to other Christmas classics. It is not a revolutionary EP rather than a simple one to give people Christmas spirit. Laufey displays a lot of talent in this album but fails to deliver the same feel that the catchy classings deliver.
Overall, A Very Laufey Holiday is a ⅘ star EP. It is unique and warm, making it perfect for the winter season. However, it lacks a certain feel that Christmas classics contain.
