The 36-year-old actress released a two-track holiday single on Thursday featuring a new original song, “How Could This Be Christmas?” and her take on the classic song, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” “The holidays are certainly going to feel verifiably different this year and in this vein, I challenged myself (and Mike and Taylor) to write a song that hinted at the acknowledgment of something missing without being too specific,” Mandy said of her new holiday song. She added that if she's learned anything during this season of change "it's the recognition that those we love and cherish are what's most important and worth celebrating."The singer also launched some Christmas-themed merch on her official website which includes a "How Could This Be Christmas?" eco-friendly round metal ornament, a "How Could This Be Christmas? T-shirt and Mandy Moore socks.  The double-sided 7” (autographed) Christmas single vinyl is also available for pre-order. On Tuesday Mandy told her followers that she has "a little surprise coming for ya this week" and told them to sign up for her mailing list so they can be the first to know what it is.
