Toronto rock favourites The Beaches bring their signature guitar-driven energy to “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” as part of Amazon Music’s 2026 Holiday Originals campaign.
The holiday season is getting a little louder thanks to The Beaches, who have teamed up with Amazon Music to deliver their own take on the beloved Christmas classic “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).”
The Toronto-based rock band is bringing its unmistakable energy to the festive favourite as part of Amazon Music’s 2026 Holiday Originals campaign, which features exclusive holiday recordings from artists around the world.
Originally made famous by the legendary Darlene Love, “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” has become a seasonal staple, capturing both the excitement and longing that often accompany the holidays.
Now, The Beaches are giving the timeless song a fresh perspective, swapping some of its vintage charm for a guitar-driven, anthemic sound that reflects their own musical identity.
For fans who enjoy a little rock and roll alongside their holiday traditions, this new rendition offers another reason to turn up the volume this Christmas.
The Beaches Christmas Baby Please Come Home: A Holiday Favourite Gets a Rock Makeover
For The Beaches, taking on “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” is more than an opportunity to record a holiday favourite. It’s a chance to revisit a song that already holds a special place in their own Christmas traditions.
Jordan Miller, the band’s lead singer, shared her excitement about bringing The Beaches’ sound to the Darlene Love classic.
“We’re so excited to be playing a cover of ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’, by the incomparable Darlene Love, this holiday season,” says Miller. “If you were to ask me personally, it’s the song I play every time December 1st comes around, it just gets me into the spirit unlike anything else.”
Miller also explained that the band wanted to introduce some of their own musical personality without losing what makes the original so special.
“We’re excited to play with it, maybe add some new wavey elements to beachesifiy it a bit, while still honouring the original which is a holiday masterpiece.”
That balance between respecting a classic and making it their own is at the heart of the band’s festive contribution.
The Beaches have built their identity around infectious hooks, bold guitar work, and a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly current. Their electrifying live performances have been captured by Canadian Beats, including our Vancouver show review and Halifax photo gallery. Bringing those same qualities to a Christmas standard gives listeners an opportunity to experience the familiar song through a different musical lens.
Listen to The Beaches’ “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”
Whether you’re building your annual Christmas playlist or looking for something a little different from the usual holiday soundtrack, The Beaches’ latest recording brings a welcome burst of rock energy to the festive season.
With Jordan Miller’s personal connection to the song and the band’s enthusiasm for putting their own spin on a holiday favourite, “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” is a fitting addition to their catalogue.
The track is available exclusively through Amazon Music as part of its 2026 Holiday Originals collection.
