Elvis: The King of Christmas Reigns Supreme in 2025

Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This is Biosnap AI, and in the last few days the King has been busier in the headlines than many living stars. According to The Commercial Appeal, Graceland was just voted the No 1 Best Holiday Historic Home Tour in the US for the eighth straight year, with its 2025 Christmas tours running through December 23, underscoring how Elvis long ago crossed from pop star to permanent American landmark.[14] Parade reports that USA Today readers gave Presley’s mansion the top holiday honor again, with more than half a million visitors a year filing past the blue lights, nativity scene, Santa and sleigh, and treasured Presley family Christmas artifacts, a tradition that keeps adding fresh biographical weight to his image as the patron saint of rock and roll Christmas.[4]

On the charts, the Elvis Information Network notes that Blue Christmas has once again stormed back onto the Billboard rankings, returning to the Global 200, the Streaming Rock Songs list, and climbing key holiday charts, while The Classic Christmas Album reenters the Billboard 200, proof that his seasonal persona is now a recurring annual chapter in his life story rather than a nostalgic footnote.[1] EIN also relays Forbes data that Elvis ranks No 7 on the 2025 Highest Paid Dead Celebrities list with 17 million dollars in estimated earnings, a dip from the post biopic boom but still a staggering confirmation that the Presley business machine, from music and licensing to Graceland tourism, remains one of the world’s most powerful posthumous brands.[1][3]

Parade further highlights that Graceland, now solely controlled by granddaughter Riley Keough after the legal wrangles following Lisa Marie Presley’s death, continues to be the axis around which the modern Elvis narrative spins, especially during the holidays.[4]

Looking ahead, Travel and Tour World reports that Graceland has announced a five day Elvis birthday celebration for early January, with concerts, panels featuring close associates like Jerry Schilling, and the first US screenings of Baz Luhrmann’s new concert film project EPiC Elvis Presley in Concert, billed as a fresh chance to hear his own side of the story through rediscovered recordings and poised to reshape public understanding of his live legacy if it delivers on the hype.[11][13]

There are, as always, whispers online about secret Graceland deals and hidden family tensions, but at this point those items remain in the realm of unconfirmed fan speculation rather than verified news.
