Celebrate the holidays with The Oh Hellos! The brother and sister band have confirmed the first annual "Christmas Extravaganza," kicking off December 6 in their hometown of Austin, TX.

The unique event will mix the band's critically acclaimed live show with music from their fan-favorite holiday album, The Oh Hellos Family Christmas Album, additional carols, bad jokes, sing-alongs, dancing, revelry, and all the yuletide cheer you can squeeze onto one stage! The tour will also make stops in Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Boston and more. See below for details.

Since forming, The Oh Hellos have earned a reputation as a very special live act. The sibling duo is surrounded on stage by a rotating cast of pickers and players, numbering as many as 13 at any given time, often spilling into the audience. Paste praises the live show, saying it "sounds as big as it looks," while The Wild Honey Pie furthers, "...the band absolutely explodes with magnetic energy, and the audience always follows suit."

The Oh Hellos' Family Christmas Album is available now. The 4-song recording was originally released in 2013 and has been updated with new art and packaging. Tyler and Maggie Heath wrote all of the arrangements, although each track incorporates pre-existing Christmas songs.

The Oh Hellos began making music together in 2011 with a song written for their mother's birthday followed later that year with their self-titled, self-produced, independently released EP. The 4-track recording featured the hit song "Hello My Old Heart," which received national airplay and currently has over nine million streams on Spotify.

The Oh Hellos' Family Christmas Album Track Listing:

1. Mvmt I, "Rejoice! Rejoice!"

2. Mvmt II, "Begin and Never Cease"

3. Mvmt III, "Silent Night, Holy Night"

4. Mvmt IV, "Every Bell On Earth Will Ring"
