Get ready for the holiday shakedown: Big Freedia and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band have a new holiday single for your playlists.

“It’s that time and Santa’s back!” Freedia triumphantly says at the beginning of the track. Freedia then tells Santa what’s on his Christmas list, and it goes “vroom!”

The new version adds the live instrumentation of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band backing Freedia’s requests. He released a previous version and video of the song back in 2016.

Time to make your office party playlists jingle!
