Songs for the Season, or Ingrid Michaelson's Songs for the Season,[1] is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson, released by Cabin 24 Records on October 26, 2018.[2] Produced after the release of her 2017 extended play Snowfall which compiled several winter- and holiday-themed songs, the album marked Michaelson's first Christmas album. Taking a nostalgic approach to covers of Christmas standards and carols, the singer worked with Dan Romer on most of the material.

The album earned largely positive reviews from music critics, who complimented the songs for their retro aesthetic. Songs for the Season debuted and peaked at number 94 on the US Billboard 200 and became Michaelson's fourth consecutive top three entry on the Independent Albums. It also reached number four on the Billboard's Top Holiday Albums chart. Cabin 24 issued several singles to promote the album. A deluxe edition reissue, featuring five additional tracks, was released on November 5, 2021.[3]
