Tony Award-winner Santino Fontana and his wife present a parody of "The Christmas Shoes"
If you thought the "Christmas Shoes" song couldn'tt get any more egregiously heart-wrenching, Tony Award-winner Santino Fontana has the holiday parody for you.
Check out Santino and his wife, Jessica Fontana, as they present a spin on the familiar story of a small boy looking for the perfect pair for his Momma's imminent meeting with Jesus.
Only this time, he runs into a samaritan with a Christmas list of his own that needs completing:
The song features music by Joe Kinosian with lyrics Kellen Blair. The track is orchestrated and mixed by Matt Castle and Frank Galgano.
