Girls Aloud 'Christmas 'Round At Ours'
Digital Album Released Today
CD and Vinyl Released 14th November 2025
It's the Christmas gift Girls Aloud fans have been waiting for!
Universal Music Recordings and Fascination release the band's much-loved Christmas album ‘Christmas ‘Round At Ours’, originally only available as a bonus disc with the limited edition of their 2005 album ‘Chemistry’.
'Christmas ‘Round At Ours' is available on streaming and download today, with 14th November seeing the release of the CD and for the first time, red vinyl. The album has been gloriously remastered with a new definitive track listing, alongside a brand new previously unreleased remix from the vault, available for the first time both physically and digitally, 'Not Tonight Santa - Christmas Party Mix'.
The album features 4 classic festive covers and 4 original Girls Aloud Christmas songs, written and produced by production powerhouse Xenomania under the monikers S.Claws and Randy Snaps. It also includes sleeve notes from the band and unseen photos and images.

The iconic Christmas artwork for the album was recently celebrated by the National Portrait Gallery over Christmas 2023.
The album’s focus track ‘Not Tonight Santa’ will be accompanied by an adorable festive video featuring previously unseen footage of all five of the girls from the Girls Aloud Christmas archive.
Kimberley says: "Just as we were adding the finishing touches to what would become our Chemistry album, our producer Brian Higgins had a wildcard last minute idea. As the album had been scheduled for a December release, how about we record some bonus Christmas tracks? Our record label loved the idea but went one step further and suggested we record a whole Christmas album which could be packaged with the main album as a strictly limited edition deluxe format."
Nicola: "We decided to record 4 classic Christmas covers - and the Xenomania team were going to write 4 brand-new original Girls Aloud Christmas songs. There was only one issue – time. We had one week for the remaining new songs to be written and to record everything. Everyone went into festive overdrive. While we were recording the Christmas covers in the Xenomania studio (we picked Jingle Bell Rock because it was in the movie Mean Girls), Miranda Cooper and Lisa Cowling spent a weekend in Devon writing lyrics to the four brand new Christmas songs."
Cheryl : "The new songs were all highly kitsch and sometimes ridiculous. The album was always meant to be called Christmas ‘Round At Ours – that’s why the Christmas TV advert was themed ‘At home with Girls Aloud”, but it was decided it was too confusing to give it a name of its own, as it would only ever be available as part of the Chemistry album. Until now that is."
Nadine: "The day we photographed the front sleeve was the same day we were photographed for the main Chemistry sleeve. When we walked into the photo studio it was like walking on to a film set – the kitchen scene you see on the front of the album was a set build and it looked so impressive, like something from a 1950s Hollywood movie. If you’d told us then than many years later the chosen image from the day would be celebrated by the National Portrait Gallery (which it did in Christmas 2023) we’d never have believed you!"
