The Killers have become recognized for their work with the [[Product Red]] campaign, headed by [[Bono]] and [[Bobby Shriver]].

On November 30, 2011, the band released the (Red) Christmas EP on iTunes which features the first six songs. All proceeds from the songs have been donated to [[Product Red]] campaign and the fight against AIDS in Africa. The EP also features guest appearances from [[Elton John]], [[Neil Tennant]] ([[Pet Shop Boys]]), [[Toni Halliday]] (Curve), [[Wild Light]], and [[Mariachi El Bronx]].
