The King and Queen of Christmas have joined forces once again!

On September 17, Brett Eldredge and Kelly Clarkson released a brand-new Christmas song.

Eldredge has started to be known as Mr. Christmas, thanks to his incredible Christmas albums and tours, and began teasing new Christmas music in July. He shared a series of videos of him working on something in the studio and the caption was his website and the eyeball emoji.

If you go to his website, it has been redesigned to be Christmas-themed, with Clark Griswold’s iconic moose eggnog glass at the bottom.

“I’ve been working extra hard all year(with the help of some of my talented friends 😜)to make this an extra “Sweet December”! More to come soon:)” he wrote alongside the video.
