While ugly Christmas sweaters have become an annual holiday tradition, they’re not in the dress code for every festive event.
Jimmy Fallon finds that out the hard way in his latest Christmas song, the twangy “Ugly Sweater,” featuring Nashville newcomer Carter Faith. The song and video will debut on the Thanksgiving episode (Nov. 27) of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, but Billboard has the first sneak peek for you right now.
It all starts out as a classy affair in the clip, with Faith in a gorgeous off-the-shoulder red cocktail dress and an Aperol spritz in her hand, surrounded by similarly formal friends. “But I found out when you opened the door,” she sings — just as Fallon makes his entrance in a goofy red-and-green-striped sweater covered in scattered appliqués of a giant treble clef, Santa and his reindeer, and the words “FA LA.”
“I was the only one in an ugly sweater,” Fallon sings in a deep twang as he awkwardly makes his way through the party. “Red in the face, it don’t get better/ Pretty clear I’m no trend-setter/ I’m the only one in an ugly sweater.”
The song was written by Fallon and produced by Dave Cobb, and will be released by Republic Records. Watch the preview below:
Fallon is no stranger to holiday music, bringing cheer to Billboard’s charts over the years with seasonal tunes and albums, including his debut Christmas album Holiday Seasoning. Released in 2024, the set spent eight weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Comedy Albums chart and jingled to a No. 2 peak on Top Holiday Albums.
Fallon has also gifted Billboard’s lists with holiday jams like 2021’s “It Was a (Masked Christmas)” (with Ariana Grande and Megan Thee Stallion, a No. 38-peaking hit on Pop Airplay); 2022’s “Almost Too Early for Christmas” (with Dolly Parton, No. 30 on Adult Contemporary); 2023’s “Wrap Me Up” (with Meghan Trainor, No. 2 on Adult Contemporary and a top 40-charted hit on Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay); and 2024’s “Holiday” (with Jonas Brothers, No. 1 on Adult Contemporary) — Fallon’s first No. 1 on a radio airplay chart and a top 40 hit on Adult Pop Airplay.
Faith was Billboard‘s Country Rookie of the Month in March, when she signed a music publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group Nashville. She released her debut album, Cherry Valley, via MCA Nashville in October.
You can watch the full premiere of “Ugly Sweater” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night (Nov. 27) at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC and streaming on Peacock. It’s a very musical episode, as the night’s guests also include Ed Sheeran, Brad Paisley and Joe Keery (aka Djo).

Alicia Keys had a busy Friday (Nov. 21). Not only did the 17-time Grammy winner release a new holiday song and guest on a single from an Italian vocal legend, but she made a special appearance alongside the cast of her semi-autobiographical Broadway musical, Hell’s Kitchen, at the Shubert Theatre. Keys was in the house to deliver a mini-set as part of an “encore sessions” performance, but she was also there salute to the Broadway debut of Grammy-winning gospel singer Yolanda Adams, who just joined the cast as Miss Liza Jane.

After belting the “Empire State of Mind” finale with the cast, Keys and Adams took the stage together. “First of all, I’m grateful,” said Adams, hugging Keys. “All that dancing made me feel younger, but my feet say no. I have to thank Alicia for saying, ‘Hey, what do you think about…?’ And I’d already thought about it, and I tried it, and I love it.” When Adams left the stage, Keys was in her element, blissfully relaxed at an upright piano while crooning her cover of Prince’s “How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore?”, duetting with cast member Durrell “Tank” Babbs on a gorgeous cover of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and singing “Underdog” before sending the ecstatic audience out into the streets of Manhattan (incidentally, not far from Hell’s Kitchen).
Just hours before dazzling Broadway, Keys spoke to Billboard about “Hell’s Kitchen’s a Merry Little Christmas,” which hit DSPs on Friday. She says the idea of a holiday song for her Broadway musical Hell’s Kitchen was broached a year ago. “For different reasons it didn’t come together,” she tells Billboard. “This year we knew we wanted to do it, so we put it together now.”
“Hell’s Kitchen’s a Merry Little Christmas” mashes up the standard “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” with the musical’s opening number, Keys’ “The Gospel.” The recording features Adams along with principal performers including Amanda Reid, Phillip Johnson Richardson and Jessica Vosk.
“I love it so much,” Keys continues. “It’s such a beautiful version. Of course, the holidays are such a beautiful time to celebrate that warm, festive feeling. We wanted to bring some Hell’s Kitchen energy.”
The recording was produced by Adam Blackstone, Keys’ longtime collaborator who also serves as music supervisor and co-orchestrator for the musical. “Our process of bringing the music to life for Hell’s Kitchen has been so thrilling and exciting,” Keys says. “We had no idea that someone as phenomenal as Yolanda Adams would be joining the cast. The life of Hell’s Kitchen has just been such an incredible experience.”
With a book by Kristoffer Diaz, Hell’s Kitchen premiered at the Public Theater in late 2023, moving to the Shubert Theatre in March 2024. It was nominated for 13 Tonys, with Kecia Lewis, who played Miss Liza Jane, wining for best featured actress in a musical and Maleah Joi Moon, as Ali, taking home best actress in a musical at the 2024 Tony Awards. The original Broadway cast recording, featuring the three brand-new songs Keys penned for the musical, came out in 2024 and hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s Cast Albums chart.
The first North American tour, meanwhile, kicked off during October in Cleveland, with 30 cities on the schedule for its first year.
“That’s such a huge accomplishment,” Keys says. “And I’m so excited the country will get to experience it — even if you can’t come to New York — in a city near you. And this cast is unreal. I just can’t believe how good they are.”
The holiday song isn’t Keys’ only new music to drop on Friday. It coincides with the release of her feature on “L’aurora,” a new single by Italian vocalist Eros Ramazzotti. “It’s my first time singing in Italian,” she says. “It’s such a beautiful process to continue to learn and try things that are new and different, so I’m really excited about that.” Keys is also working on new material as she works toward a follow-up to her last studio album, 2021’s Keys, and 2022’s holiday effort Santa Baby.
“I’m writing right now, creating new music,” she says. “It is very, very special. I just feel like I’m getting better and better, so that’s all happening. There’s a lot of phenomenal things bubbling, but I just take my time — just like Hell’s Kitchen, just take my time putting it all together. It’s just a beautiful time of no limits. That’s how I look at everything.”

Jessica Simpson is getting her fans and followers ready for the holiday season without breaking the bank.
The “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” singer just dropped her latest Walmart collection including silhouettes perfect for wearing to your next holiday party. Each piece is under $100, and marries Cali boho style with Texan flair. You’ve got tons of options to choose from to build an outfit, including a multitude of denim options, printed coats, flirty tops and even a few bag options. To help you sift through all the Simpson-approved offerings collection, we’ve included some of our favorite pieces below for you to shop at Walmart’s website.
Jessica Simpson Women’s and Women’s Plus Myrtle Barrel Leg Jeans
Wide-leg denim.
Good denim is always hard to pass up, especially with a $32.50 price tag. These Myrtle jeans boast a barrel leg, an on-trend silhouette seen on the likes of Jennifer Lopez and now Simpson. Sizing currently ranges from 2 to 16 plus. Barrel jeans are, as the name suggests, barrel-esque with wide legs and a high waistline. These feature a light wash with seams running down the legs, giving the style a more tailored fix, juxtaposing the usual oversized nature of a barrel jean. If this light wash isn’t your thing, the Myrtle comes in five other colorways.

Jessica Simpson Women’s Aleera Ribbed Knit Top with Lace Trim
A black lace-trimmed top.
This ribbed knit top is a stunner, and one we can envision being worn and re-worn to infinity. Retailing for $22.50, the top comes in three styles, black, a sage green and burgundy with sizes ranging from XS to XL. The knitted top is made of a cozy and slightly stretchy mix of 58% cotton, 39% polyester, and 3% spandex and features a square neckline and long sleeves trimmed with dainty lace for a peekaboo effect. This is a great basic that can replace your less-than fashionable graphic tees or turtlenecks. We’d suggest you wear tucked into jeans, maybe with loafers and a cozy jacket over top.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Taylor Hobo Bag in Pinot Noir
$28.78
$36
20% off
A slouchy chestnut brown hobo bag.
This Taylor Hobo bag bridges the gap between form and function. The everyday style retails for $28.78 and is roomy enough to store all your go-tos at 16.5” W x 11” H x 5” D. The bag features a patchwork design on the front panel and a unique wine-color and gold-studded detailing that offers the piece that extra edge. The inside is lined with a whimsical paisley print, paying homage to the boho category it falls under. If you don’t like the reddish brown hue, the Taylor Hobo also comes in black, a more versatile option. It’s a unique find, especially at that price, and one we can see being worn frequently to the office or out for coffee with friends.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Dionne Eyelash Cardigan Sweater
A striped cardigan sweater.
This Dionne cardigan is one of our favorites from the holiday collection. Retailing for $29.50, the layering piece features this unique berry red hue with black striping and shiny button accents. The style is slouchy and super cozy with this fuzzy mohair-esque texture that really brings life to the piece. The hem is slightly cropped, while the neckline is a deep V. Sizing ranges from XS to XL. While you can wear this cardigan on its own, we’d utilize it as a layering piece to warm up your band tees or blouses.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Round Collar Faux Fur Jacket
A cropped leopard-printed faux-fur jacket.
Winter and animal print go hand in hand. You can’t really go wrong with leopard print, and Simpson’s holiday collection is chock-full of the whimsical print. This faux-fur number currently retails for $62.50, one of the more expensive pieces in the collection, but it’s well worth the price. Sizing ranges from XS to XL and we’d recommend sizing up for a more oversized fit. The style is made of cozy faux-fur and features a chic, rounded collar and a cropped hem, sitting just above the hips to allow your bottoms to shine through. This is a warm and stylish option if you’ve been on the hunt for a winter coat.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Stayce Cropped Ruffle Top with Long Sleeves
A cropped ruffled top.
The Stayce is another one of our favorites because it’s one of the true boho-esque styles in the collection. Retailing for $29.50, the top features dramatic bell sleeves and an equally dramatic, cropped flared hemline that gives the top shape. The neckline also gets the same flared treatment, reminiscent of a pirate or something we’d see worn on a ’70s flower child. All the flared accents give the piece so much movement so it’s definitely a style you’ll want to be doing some twirling in. Sizing is available in XS to XL. To style, we’d wear the Stayce with high-waisted denim or a floral maxi skirt and some chunky western boots, leaning into the boho vibes.
Jessica Simpson Lollah Women’s Heels
A leopard-printed block heel.
If you’re heading to a holiday party this season, you’ll probably be needing some kind of fancy shoe. These Lollah heels just might do the trick, and they’re only $29.99, so you’ll have plenty of funds left over to buy people gifts. This style is leopard print; however, there’s a metallic silver option too. The shoe features a comfortable block heel standing at four inches, giving the wearer an elongated silhouette. A thin ankle strap further secures the shoe to the foot, put in place with a silver buckle. It’s a simple but effective shoe with a closed toe, great for colder weather. We’d style these with a black maxi dress or for the office with a sleek and tailored suit.

A gold string is looped through a hole on the top of the ornament, making it easy to hang.
Kat + Annie Ornaments The Beatles Drum, Silver and White
A The Beatles ornament.
The Beatles were very serious about Christmas, so much so that they released their very own holiday album in 1970, aptly titled The Beatles Christmas Album. If you want to get into the spirit, throw on that album and hang this Kat + Annie The Beatles Ornament on your tree. Retailing for $26.95, this ornament is made of glass and comes with a hook to attach to the tree. The front is equipped with black and white motifs of members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, along with their signatures. The back and front read “The Beatles.”
David Bowie Ziggy Stardust Christmas Tree Ornament Merchandise Decor
A David Bowie ornament.
David Bowie was another musician who was pretty active during the holidays. As far as Christmas is concerned, the star once collaborated with Bing Crosby on a track titled “Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy” in 1977. The song features Crosby singing the 1941 standard “The Little Drummer Boy” while Bowie sings the counterpoint tune “Peace on Earth.” In any case, this ornament of Bowie is a keeper, depicting the ever-popular Ziggy stardust, Bowie’s alter-ego, in the center of a metal snowflake-shaped motif. This is one of the more intricate entries on our list, and one that we’re sure would look great alongside your more traditional ornaments.
Cody Foster 4.75 In George Michael Christmas Tree Ornament, Christmas Music Wham 80’S
A George Michael ornament.
You can’t possibly celebrate the holidays without hearing George Michael’s sweet voice. Alongside Wham!, Michael produced some of the most iconic Christmas tracks to date like “Last Christmas,” which was released in 1984. With his contribution to the holidays, or at least your holiday playlist, in mind, we’ve included a George Michael ornament from Target retailing for $29. The ornament depicts Michael in glittering glory with a gold string attached to his head.
BTS Christmas Tree Ornament | K-Pop Holiday Decor
A tree-shaped ornament with the members of BTS on it.
We’ve always thought that Christmas was heavily lacking in K-Pop. Thus, we’ve included this cute BTS ornament from Etsy, retailing for $12.99. This ornament is shaped like a Christmas tree and comes in purple. The shape of the tree is created with each member’s name stacked on top of one another, all adorned with a star at the tippy top.
Cody Foster 4.75 In Freddie Mercury Christmas Tree Ornament
A Freddie Mercury ornament.
If you can believe it, Queen has a song called “Thank God It’s Christmas.” It was a B-side of the single “A Winter’s Tale” from the 1995 album Made in Heaven. While he doesn’t scream Christmas spirit, this Freddie Mercury ornament for $30 was too good not to include in this list. Like our George Michael pick, this ornament is a glittering bust of Mercury with a crown sat atop his head, along with a string to attach the ornament to your tree.

The holiday season is fast approaching, which means it’s time to start thinking about decking your halls.
While you could go the classic garland and holly route, we’d suggest going the music fanatic route this season with Grateful Dead holiday decor available on Amazon now. The best part? The holiday offerings are on sale. The band’s official Amazon storefront includes two holiday pieces, although there are a bunch to choose from. Our picks? A nutcracker in the shape of a dancing bear, the band’s unofficial mascot, for $50.71 and a decorative glass ornament for $30.20.
The bear nutcracker stands at 10 inches and depicts the band’s dancing bear in blue wearing a festive holiday costume. An ornament is clutched in the bear’s hand. If you didn’t know, the dancing bear is meant to represent the band’s sound engineer and counterculture figure, Owsley “Bear” Stanley, who was nicknamed “bear” for his hairy chest.
