Finally It's Christmas is the second Christmas album by American pop rock group Hanson. The band wrote and produced the album with Mark Hudson, who also collaborated on the band's first Christmas release, Snowed In (1997).[1] Several of the band's children also make appearances in some songs.[2] The album was released on October 27, 2017.[3]

Background

Taylor Hanson on why it took so long to do another Christmas album:

Composition

The album features a mix of classic Christmas covers from Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas" to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (renamed "All I Want for Christmas") as well as a mash up of "Joy to the World" and "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and four original songs.[4]
