Some artists seem to have an unending motor. Not only are they still creating new and exciting music, but they are also hitting the road with elaborate tours that help revive the beloved nostalgic energy their fans constantly seek. And anyone who grew up in the '70s idolizing performer Shaun Cassidyhas more than gotten their "money's worth," considering the albums and shows he's put on over the decades.
Despite recently ending a massive tour run from winter to spring, Cassidy has been spending time in the studio recording and cutting his newest venture: The 2026 UNWRAPPED Holiday Tour, set to go on sale July 24.
"This November and December, we’ll be bringing you the songs you know and love, holiday favorites, new music, and stories from our many Cassidy family Christmases (with seven kids, there’s no shortage of them)," Cassidy wrote on Instagram. "We’re also heading to several places we missed last year, including Denver, Des Moines, Key West, New York City, Los Angeles, and Pontiac, Michigan."
"Thank you for bringing me back to the stage," he added. "I can’t wait to see you all this holiday season — and be on the lookout for new music in the fall!"
Fans were over the moon with the announcement, practically marking their calendars as he spoke.
"This is AMAZING NEWS x a million!! Congrats on the album, and can’t wait to catch you in KC or Iowa! Merry Christmas to me," wrote one eager fan.
"I cannot wait!!! See you in November," promised another.
The Cassidy Christmas Connection
Considering Cassidy has been in the biz since he was a teenager, it is pretty surprising to realize he had never crafted a full holiday album before. However, his mother, Shirley Jones, created a holiday album called A Touch of Christmas, as well as the classic group album A Partridge Family Christmas Card, which featured the famous Partridge Family, of which his half-brother, David Cassidy, was a part.
That doesn't mean he hasn't shown off his "holiday cheer" before. Cassidy has been known to sing a holiday jingle or two around Christmastime. In 2023, he played a last-minute New Year's Eve party and sang several holiday ditties, and he recounted a tale of spending holiday time with him, his mom, and his wife in his beloved cabin, with "48,000" children.
Though we do not know for certain, we are hopeful that a few of those holiday classics from either album and a family holiday story or two will make a sentimental appearance.
