The singer also shared a TikTok promoting the release, saying, \"I realize that it's October but in this house it's just never too early.\"

He also joked about the release date of his holiday collection coinciding with Taylor Swift's \"Midnights\" release.

@thomasrhett Giving Taylor a run for her money… just kidding. Y’all go check out my brand new #christmas EP, #merrychristmasyall, everywhere! 🎄 #christmasmusic #holidaymusic #countrymusic ♬ Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - Thomas Rhett

\"I also realize that we dropped it on the same day that Taylor Swift just released 'Midnights,'\" he shared. \"We did that on purpose because we thought, 'man, this Christmas EP might be a little bit better than Taylor Swift, you know?' I'm totally kidding!\"
