Gap is getting into a musical mood for holiday.

Its new holiday campaign, which launched Friday, gives musical creators the platform to share their talent and gifts with the world.

The “Give Your Gift” campaign highlights the brand’s bestselling Cash Soft knit collection, which has been expanded with new design features in stitch, texture and color. This season’s collection includes tops, bottoms and accessories for the entire family, along with a wider range of matching sets and new silhouettes.

The campaign launches in stores and across digital media, video, social and Gap brand channels.

For the second quarter ended Aug. 3, the Gap brand at Gap Inc. had net sales of $766 million, up 1 percent compared to last year. Comparable sales rose 3 percent, representing the third consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales at the brand, the company indicated. “Gap’s reinvigoration efforts have helped drive market share gains at the brand for the past five quarters,” the company stated.

“[At Gap,] we’re very excited about the progress,” Richard Dickson, chief executive officer of Gap inc., said in August. He said the Gap brand is building off strong reactions to the recent spring “Linen Moves” campaign, the current fall “Get Loose” denim-focused campaign capitalizing on baggy and oversize trends, and collaborations with the brands Dôen and Mad Happy. “In general, we are making a lot of progress revitalizing this iconic brand,” Dickson said.
