Christmas is just a few days away, but that hasn't stopped Ashton Irwin from thinking about what to do for next year's celebrations. On a recent post on Twitter, the 5 Seconds of Summer member teases the idea on possibly producing a future Christmas album.

"The best part of Christmas is finding out what artist's in the past actually did a Christmas song," Irwin tweeted with a link pointing to N'Sync's 'All I Want Is You (This Christmas) on Spotify.

According to a report by Enstarz, the 5SOS musician was listening to the album 'Home for Christmas.' The N'Sync album features a total of 14 tracks.

Fans of the band appear to be interested in the idea of a Christmas album. This single post alone has garnered more than 20,000 retweets and 43,000 likes in just a few hours.

The band has been extremely busy throughout the year, producing and releasing their highly successful new album while going on tour says Unreality TV. Having little time to themselves maybe a reason why they haven't had time to do some Christmas shopping.

During the Y100 Jingle Ball, People asked if they are planning to give each other gifts for which all of the members emphatically said no.

"We don't want to start the trend," Michael Clifford explained to reporters. "Because if we start the trend, then we have to do birthdays, Christmases - it's better to go without responsibility."

They may be skipping gift-giving for each other but not for their friends and family. The UK-based online publication revealed some of the band's plans for gift giving.

"I'm going to buy my parents a gift this year and we're doing Secret Santa [but] I'm going to get separate presents as well," said Luke Hemmings.

For Calum Hood, he doesn't want to worry about what to give. He plans to "go old school," asking them what they want to get and just go buy the stuff.

The band's guitarist has been more upfront on how he intends to buy gifts for his parents. "I'll be like, 'Look, I don't want to waste my time—what do you want?'"

"'Do you want $100 so you can go buy it?'"

Although the Australian group has been fed up with being labeled as a boy band, Sky News says the boys enjoyed their time with fellow musicians from the group One Direction.

"Their type of music is very different to ours as well. It's a different type of journey, but to see how they've done it and the way they treat their touring crew is something we've learned from."
