Peloton has released their first ever Christmas in July ride, taught by Emma Lovewell.
The class dropped straight to the on-demand library, and you can find it as a 30 min Christmas in July Ride from July 24, 2026 @ 12:00am ET.
The reason it exists, according to Emma, is that members asked for it. Emma shared on Instagram
“First ever Christmas in July Ride! Truth is, enough of you messaged me asking for this class that we were able to make it happen! Happy Christmas in July!”
The playlist is a full holiday lineup, spanning classic crooners, Motown, and a couple of movie soundtrack cuts:
- Merry Christmas Baby – Hanson
- Little Saint Nick (1991 Remix) – The Beach Boys
- Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) – Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters
- I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus – Jackson 5
- Wizards in Winter (Instrumental) – Trans-Siberian Orchestra
- Blue Christmas – Elvis Presley
- Holly Jolly Christmas – Michael Bublé
- Jingle Bell Rock (From “Elf”) – Saturday Night At The Movies
- Run Run Rudolph – Kelly Clarkson
- Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays – *NSYNC
- Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) – Mariah Carey
- We Wish You a Merry Christmas / End Title (From “Home Alone” Soundtrack) – John Williams
Peloton has a long-running tradition of Christmas and holiday classes, but they have always been a December thing, typically arriving in the middle or end of the month. Last year’s batch started dropping on December 1 and ran through Christmas, spanning rides, runs, yoga, strength, rowing, and more.
Christmas in July is its own small tradition outside of Peloton, with retailers running sales and networks airing holiday movies in the middle of summer. This is the first time Peloton has joined in.
Peloton has not indicated whether this is a one-off or the start of something they will repeat, and for now it is a single class rather than a batch.
