It's nearly the most wonderful time of the year, and Ally Brooke is ready to celebrate.

The former Fifth Harmony member is gearing up to release her first-ever holiday EP Under the Tree on Nov. 3, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal.

"There’s nothing more exciting to me than releasing my holiday EP," Brooke, 30, tells PEOPLE. "It’s been such a huge aspiration of mine and it’s coming true. I hope people all over will fall in love with it and that it brings them joy!"

Under the Tree will feature four tracks, including renditions of three festive classics — "White Christmas," "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" — as well as "Under the Tree," an original song.

"My original 'Under the Tree' is such a fun, upbeat one that I know my fans are going to fall in love with! It means joy and love to me, being with your loved ones and having love in your heart," says Brooke of the pop track in a press statement.

The forthcoming project marks the singer's second foray into holiday music, following her 2020 single "Baby I'm Coming Home."

Last month, Brooke released "Gone to Bed," a sultry electro-pop single that marked her first new music of 2023. She said in a press statement at the time, "I’m very proud of this song and so excited for it to mark my new era!"

"'Gone to Bed' for me is this delicate dance between emotions and logic. It is that constant inner struggle we face every day," continued Brooke of the song. "We as humans are ruled by our emotions, which is a beautiful way of living yet a dangerous one at times."

In an interview with PEOPLE last year, the VMA winner revealed the advice she'd give her young self, standing in line to audition for The X Factor — long before joining Fifth Harmony and earning massive hits like "Worth It" and "Work from Home."

"I would say, 'Hold on,'" said Brooke at the time. "'You're about to go on the ride of your life. There's so much ahead, and you're going to meet some people that'll change everything for you.'"
