Aimee Mann plans third annual Christmas-themed tour

In what seems to be turning into an annual holiday-season tradition, Aimee Mann will hit the road again for a full-fledged Christmas-themed tour beginning in December.

The tour coincides with the re-release of her 2006 holiday album, One More Drifter in the Snow, which hits stores Nov. 10 and will include a spanking-new cover of Joni Mitchell's venerable classic "River." The tour will also feature guest spots from musicians Nellie McKay and Grant Lee Phillips, as well as comedians Patton Oswalt, Paul F. Thompkins and Morgan Murphy.

The album's full track list:
1. "Whatever Happened to Christmas"
2. "Christmas Song"
3. "Christmastime"
4. "I'll Be Home For Christmas"
5. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"
6. "Winter Wonderland"
7. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
8. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"
9. "White Christmas"
10. "Calling On Mary"
11. "River"
