Christmas has always been a significant part of the couple’s relationship. In 2017, when their romance began, McPhee revealed that Foster hosted a Christmas party for her and her friends as a way to impress her.
In 2022, the duo released their first Christmas-themed album, Christmas Songs. Reflecting on the project, McPhee shared, “I think I guilted David. I said something like, ‘It’s really crazy I’m married to the greatest producer, basically of our lifetime, and I’ve only had you record me on a few songs.’ Then he said, ‘Okay, well, why don’t we just do a Christmas album?'”
The album evolved into a seven-track EP.

Initially intending to release just a few songs on Spotify, the couple’s plans quickly expanded to include a full-scale Christmas promotion and tour. Foster described the recording process with his wife as “easy,” explaining, “I got to make the tracks and do things the way I wanted to, then I’d have her come in and plug her vocal in. It was really fun.” He also noted, “There were a couple of songs we were talking about that we didn’t know whether she could handle or not, but she handled them like a pro.”
