It's Christmas All Over is a 2022 Christmas album from American alternative rock band Goo Goo Dolls, released on October 30, via Warner Records.[2] It has received mixed critical reception.

Recording and release [edit]

"Someone asked me to tape a Christmas song for them for a compilation record... I had so much fun doing it that I idea, 'Well, why don't we brand a whole record?'"

—John Rzeznik on beingness inspired to record the album[ane]

The band initially planned to tour in support of 2019's Miracle Pill through mid-2020 simply due to the COVID-19 pandemic, those plans were scrapped and the band members wrote music in their homes and recorded them at a studio in Boyle Heights, finalizing the work in the band's studio GCR Audio in Buffalo, New York.[ane] They fabricated a conscious effort to not record harder stone versions of the standards, instead opting for traditional pop sounds.[3] In lieu of touring, the ring livestreamed virtual "augmented reality movie musicals" in October and December[3] that would allow audition members to command the camera and sentinel them perform.[4]

"Let It Snowfall" was released for streaming,[3] followed past "This Is Christmas" in mid-October.[v]

In 2021, the band released a "Deluxe Digital Edition" [6] which included two bonus tracks: "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm," first included equally a bonus download with purchase of the CD [7] or LP,[8] and "One Last Song About Christmas," a new original vocal.

Critical reception [edit]

Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter gave this album two.v out of five stars, criticizing information technology for being banal, with some muted praise for varied musical genres and experimentation, he sums upward, "the project could have been much more interesting if it rocked harder and the song choices didn't revert back to some obvious, and worn out standards that find the Goo Goo Dolls doing something they never would take considered in their primeval days; playing it condom".[9] Andy Von Pip of Under the Radar gave this album a 5.5 out of 10, noting that "the two original self-penned songs that really do hit the marking and hint at what might have been" but the work is primarily padded with "pedestrian" covers and it is ultimately a "rushed tick box practise trying to embrace all festive bases but rarely hitting a home run".[10]
