The title track of his holiday album “Snow Globe Town,” released in November 2025, is this song.

Born from a partnership with the Hallmark Channel, the album comprises 16 tracks—8 originals and 8 classics.

Her holiday track released in November 2025 offers a compelling twist on the traditional Christmas song.

Instead of asking Santa for presents, she sings that she’s already fulfilled and “you can skip my house,” a unique, upside-down idea.

Set to warm R&B production, its message of gratitude and self-affirmation resonates gently.

Rather than flashy festive fanfare, it’s a song that quietly fills the heart—perfect for anyone hoping to spend a calm Christmas night.
