Holiday is the 21st album[2] from R&B legends Earth, Wind & Fire, and was released on October 21, 2014 for the holiday season. According to co-founder Verdine White, "We never thought about doing a holiday album before, but Legacy/Sony asked and so have our fans, so we hope the audience likes it."[3] It was the final album to feature co-founder Maurice White prior to his death in February 2016.

Along with a number of traditional Christmas songs, Holiday includes two Earth, Wind & Fire songs that were re-worked just for this release:
