So it makes sense that the the actress/model/musician, 31, would want to commemorate such a momentous year for her fans with a little holiday cheer.
On Friday, Waterhouse shared a haunting rock rendition of"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.“The slow-burning track begins as a barebones number that Waterhouse’s smoky, blues-tinged vocals and eventually turns into an eerie, string-flanked instrumental explosion.
According to thePersuasionstar, it was a fan who actually pointed out that she should record a version of the holiday classic — but it’s a favorite of hers, too.
“I chose to record ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ because it’s a timeless favorite of mine,” Waterhouse told PEOPLE. “The warmth and nostalgia in the song really resonate with me, and it was a great creative challenge to put a new spin on a song I’ve been listening to for ages.”

“Their commitment to helping young adults leaving foster care left a lasting impression on me,” Waterhouse said of the Los Angeles-based non-profit. “Donating the proceeds to this cause during the holiday season is a privilege that I’m so excited for — it’s a way to keep supporting their mission of creating stable homes and making a positive change in people’s lives.”
Waterhouse’s holiday single seems to be just a taste of what’s to come. When asked if she was working on a new album, she said she’s “been living in the studio essentially.”
“Writing is so cathartic for me — I can’t wait to share more soon!” she said.
She also has something else to look forward to:Daisy Jones & The Six’s timeless companion albumAURORAis nominated for best compilation soundtrack for visual media at the2024 Grammys.
“I’m over the moon aboutDaisy Jones & The Sixgetting Grammy nominations!” she exclaims. “It’s a testament to the hard work and creativity of the entire team, and I feel incredibly honored to be a part of it.”
For Waterhouse, the possibility is still not off the table.
“That’s always been a dream for the whole cast,” she said. “And we hope that someday it will become a reality.”
