It might be time forHilary Duffto take another walk down Santa Claus lane.

The singer and actress, 37, has previously spoken about how her daughter Banks, 6, is a big fan of her music,especially the 2015 song “Sparks.“With the holiday season now in full effect, she has a perfect opportunity to share her 2002 Christmas album,Santa Claus Lane, with her four kids — which she hasn’t done yet.

“You know what, I need to,” Duff tells PEOPLE. The “With Love” musician shares Banks as well as daughters Mae, 3, and Townes, born in May, with husbandMatthew Koma, while she’s also mom to son Luca, 12.

“Maybe this is the year,” she adds. “Luca will have none of that, but Banks would definitely love it. I tend to play the classic holiday songs in the car — not that that’s not a classic.”

Many fans may not realizeSanta Claus Laneis technically the former child star’s debut album, as the festive project was released before 2003’s blockbusterMetamorphosisalbum, which features the hits “So Yesterday” and “Come Clean.”

She added, “I had to bring an appetizer somewhere the other day, and I was like, ‘Give me three, off-the-beaten-path appetizers, so I can wow people.'”
