Christmas with the Petersens

The Petersens release their first Christmas album titled Christmas with the Petersens on November 6, 2020.

The Petersens began working on their Christmas album in February of 2020 at Digi Grass Studios in Ozark, MO. Due to COVID-19, the recordings were put on hold. When Julianne started college in Arkansas, the Petersens found a recording studio, Haxton Road, in Arkansas so Julianne could travel easily back and forth from college to finish the project.

The album was mixed and mastered by Troy Dixon. The photography was done by Aaron Clark Photography. Album design was by Austin Meyer.
