Here's to Another Great Year!
That went by quickly!
Hard to believe 2025 is already coming to a close. With that in mind, this will be our final regular newsletter of the year. We'll pick things back up in January, but our holiday newsletter will continue through the Christmas season, so be sure to keep an eye out for that.
Before we sign off, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you for including What's In-Store Music in your marketing plans this year. It's truly a pleasure to work with each of you, and a thrill to be part of such exciting projects. We hope you and your families enjoy a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season, and let's do it all again in 2026!
Please Note:
The What's In-Store Music office will be closed for general business from Wednesday, December 10th, through January 5th. We will continue managing all holiday-related projects through Christmas.

"Christmas Morning"
"Christmas Morning" came from all the nights I've spent driving home after shows in December, watching snow fall on empty roads and aching to get back to the people I love. Touring is a dream come true, but it also means missing cozy moments - the fireplace glow, the tree lights, the feeling of being exactly where you belong. This song is about that journey home: staying up through the night, imagining my family celebrating and hoping they know I'm racing back to them. It's the promise that no matter how far away I am - physically or emotionally - when Christmas morning comes, I'll be there, boots on the stairs, ready to wrap myself in the warmth of home again.

Out & About on Candy Cane Lane
Looking for a quick blast of Christmas cheer in the San Fernando Valley? Head straight to Candy Cane Lane in Woodland Hills. Every year, several blocks of the neighborhood transform as each house builds an elaborate holiday display, each one seemingly trying to outdo the last. I stopped by a few weeks ago when the first decorations were going up, and now the entire area is glowing. Lights, inflatables, ornaments, you name it, it's there, and you could probably spot it from space. It's a festive drive-through tradition that never fails to spark the holiday spirit. If you're nearby, it's well worth the visit!
Have a great week,
Scott Emerson
