It's Christmas is the seventh studio album by all-female German pop group No Angels. A follow-up to their 2021 anniversary album 20, it is expected to be released by Stars by Edel on 21 November 2025. Produced by Christian Geller, It's Christmas will mark the band's debut with the label as well as their first Christmas album. Incorporating a big band sound, the album was recorded with a symphony orchestra under the direction of Bulgarian arranger George Miltiyadoff.[1] The album's first single, "I Still Believe," was issued on 10 October 2025 and serves as theme song for the 30th RTL-Spendenmarathon.[2]
In January 2021, after more than ten years without performing together, former No Angels members Nadja Benaissa, Lucy Diakovska, Sandy Mölling and Jessica Wahls reunited as group to release a new version of their debut single "Daylight in Your Eyes" to commemorate with the 2001 release of the song,[3] followed by 20, their first full-length album release since 2009, with plans to expand the anniversary celebrations.[4] Released to strong streaming numbers and a revived interest from the media and their fan base,[5] the album debuted at number one on the German Albums Chart, becoming No Angels' first chart topper in nearly two decades, and reached the top ten in Austria and Switzerland.[6] In June 2022, the band kicked off their Celebration Tour at the Parkbühne Wuhlheide. Continued in September 2022, the tour compromised ten concerts throughout Germany and concluded on 8 October 2022.[7][8] Initially uncertain about their future as a recording group,[9] the band assured they would keep performing together and in 2023, No Angels reunited for several festival concerts and one-off events.[9][10]
Recording
In January 2024, after winning the 17th season of the reality show Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus!, Diakovska disclosed that the quartet was planning to record new material for an upcoming project in Berlin during the summer of 2024.[11] In July 2024, she and Mölling independently confirmed that the project would be a new studio album,[12] contradicting earlier statements in which the band had expressed that they could not envision recording new music beyond the release of 20, although Mölling declined to speculate on when the project might be released.[13] In the week of 30 July 2024, the group reunited at the Studio 61 recording studios of their producer and manager Christian Geller in Kruft to record their vocals, test video recordings, and discuss strategic matters related to the album.[14] The sessions marked the first time the quartet recorded vocals together since the production of their fifth studio album Welcome to the Dance (2009), as large portions of 20 had been recorded separately due to restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] The recording process was completed on 18 August 2024, as announced by the group via Instagram.[16]
Promotion
With their 25th anniversary approaching, the group revealed in October 2024 that the album’s release would be postponed beyond 2024 and would instead be preceded by Still in Love with You – Summer 2025, a festival tour in the summer of 2025.[17] On October 3, 2025, No Angels announced via Instagram that their upcoming single "I Still Believe" would be released on October 10.[18] The band's first release in four years, the song was made available for pre-order across all platforms later that same day.[18] On October 10, German television channel RTL and the band announced that the song would serve as the theme song for the 30th RTL-Spendenmarathon, an annual fundraising event organized by RTL's Wir helfen Kindern foundation since 1996.[2] A music video for the song, directed by Marcel Brell, was premiered on 13 October 2025.[19]
