The four-strong Newsboys are following up their debut release with new lead singer Michael Tait with another firsta Christmas collection.

Christmas! A Newsboys Holiday is set to release Oct. 12 from Inpop Records. The five-track set will feature classics "Winter Wonderland," "Jingle Bell Rock," "All I Want for Christmas is You," "O Holy Night" and "The Christmas Song." It will be available in physical ($5) and digital ($4.99) formats.

Tait covered the last song on the collection as a hidden track on 2003's Lose Your Life, one of two albums he released with Tait, the band he formed after DC Talk went on hiatus.

The new CD was produced by Dustin Burnett, Michael Tait and Juan Otero of The Write Bros, half of the production team of Newsboys' recent Born Again.

To help promote Christmas! A Newsboys Holiday, the band will join Newsong on the "Very Merry Christmas Tour 2010." The 20-plus city tour kicks off in Whiteville, N.C., Nov. 27, concluding in Albany, Ga., Dec. 20.
