Winterlicious is Gibson's first Christmas album, featuring a mix of original songs and covers of popular Christmas carols. The lead single is "Christmas Star", which was released on November 12, 2021.[6] The album includes the song "Heartbreak Holiday", which marks Gibson's second duet with New Kids on the Block member Joey McIntyre after "Lost in Your Eyes, the Duet".[1][2]

"Sleigh Ride" was originally recorded by Gibson on the 1992 various artists album A Very Special Christmas 2. Her rendition of "White Christmas" is a duet with her father Joe. "Cheers!" is an original New Year's Eve song Gibson wrote in memory of her late mother and former manager Diane.[1][3][2][4]

To promote the album, Gibson hosted the Winterlicious holiday tour across the US starting on November 25, 2022.[1][3][2]
