Katy Perry is in the studio again… writing CHRISTMAS songs!

Katy Perry has dropped a HUGE hint that’s she’s got something musical planned for the upcoming festive period.

Despite it being the height of summer, the Dark Horse singer uploaded a video to Instagram of her ‘derp squad’ in slightly creepy festive themed head-to-toe body suits, simultaneously turning around on their chairs to strike a pose.

It was all very strange.

The singer captioned the video: “When your derp squad writes a Christmas song in August,” finished with some telling Xmas tree emojis.

This isn’t the first time the pop princess has dipped her toes in the icy waters of Christmas music, as YouTube houses some delightful covers of the White Christmas and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by the singer.

It’s thought the tracks might have something to do with Katy’s Happy And Merry Christmas 2015 campaign with high street retailers H&M, which was announced in July this year.

She also broke that news on Insta, saying: “I am excited to announce that I will be starring in @hm's #HappyandMerry Holiday Campaign launching later this year!!!

"Stay tuned for the whole unwrapping!"

Oh we will, Katy.

We’re all in the holiday spirit now, we just want to be sat around the tree, eating turkey and listening to the soothing sounds of Katy bringing us some festival joy.
