[4] In November 2015, Fearless Records released a deluxe edition of Punk Goes Christmas with four additional tracks added to the original Punk Goes Christmas album.

The songs on the album that were added were three additional covers and one new original song titled "12 Days of a Pop-Punk Christmas" performed by YouTube comedian Jarrod Alonge, credited to his fictitious YouTube band Sunrise Skater Kids.

The first song from the deluxe edition is August Burns Red's cover of the Home Alone Theme, originally composed by John Williams.

Punk Goes Christmas also included a sampler CD containing eight previously released songs by bands from the Fearless Record label.
