Overview

Christmas is an extended play (EP) by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. It was released on 14 December 2009 by Parlophone. The EP contains a new version of their exclusive 1997 fan club single "It Doesn't Often Snow at Christmas" and a new version of the track "All Over the World" from their tenth studio album Yes, both of which featured additional production by Marius de Vries. The EP also includes a cover of Madness' song "My Girl", along with a remix of it, as well as a medley of Pet Shop Boys' 1988 song "Domino Dancing" with Coldplay's 2008 song "Viva la Vida". "All Over the World" was released to radio stations as a promotional recording and was given its first airing on Chris Evans's BBC Radio 2 show on 9 November 2009. "It Doesn't Often Snow at Christmas" followed three weeks later in the first week of December. Following the release of the EP, "It Doesn't Often Snow at Christmas" entered the UK Singles Chart on 26 December 2009 at number 40, and is to date the last Pet Shop Boys single to have entered the UK top 40.
