Available to stream and purchase only on Amazon Music, the track finds JoJo putting a vintage, R&B twist on one of the most iconic Christmas songs. Part of a recent slate of brand-new, holiday-themed Amazon Originals, the track can be heard on the Christmas Present playlist, Amazon Music's home for new holiday classics.

"'The Christmas Song' makes me feel like I'm home. My mom was part of a caroling troop and I learned 'The Christmas Song' from hearing her sing it year after year. We love holiday music in my family, and we start playing it right after Thanksgiving," said JoJo about the song. "It makes me feel nostalgic, and I'm instantly transported back to the holidays in New England. There's nothing like coming inside from the cold of the fresh December snow and warming up with hot chocolate by a wood burning stove. This is gonna be my first Christmas in Los Angeles, but singing this song makes me feel like a kid again waiting for Santa to slide down the chimney."

JoJo, born Joanna Levesque, is a chart-topping, award-winning singer, songwriter, and actress who, at just 28 years old, is already a veteran of the music industry. Now signed to Warner Records through a joint venture with her own Clover Music, JoJo has returned with new releases "Joanna" and the Doc McKinney-produced "Sabotage (feat. CHIKA)," and is looking ahead to her new album to come in spring 2020.

JoJo released her self-titled debut album when she was just 13. Her breakout smash "Leave (Get Out)" made JoJo the youngest-ever solo artist to have a debut #1 single in the U.S. and to be nominated for "Best New Artist" at the MTV Video Music Awards. The album went on to sell over four million copies and became the singer's first Platinum record, which she followed with a string of additional hits, most notably the Top 3 single "Too Little Too Late" from sophomore album The High Road. In 2016, JoJo made a heralded return to music with her first new album in 10 years, Mad Love, which debuted in the Top-10 on the Billboard Top 200 and earned her unanimous critical acclaim.

"The Christmas Song" joins brand-new Amazon Original songs for the holidays, released this month from John Legend, Ellie Goulding, H.E.R., Ingrid Michaelson & Jason Mraz, Next Town Down, Sebastian Yatra, The Band Perry, Nina Nesbitt, and Chloe Flower.
