The weather outside might not be frightful, but Chris Young’s new announcement is certainly delightful. After days of hinting that he’s been in the studio working on something big, Young has announced that he’s recording his very first Christmas album. Young revealed the exciting news yesterday (6/30) during a Facebook Live video that was shot in the studio.

The video started with only Chris in view as he prepped his fans for the announcement. Young then turned the camera around to show that the studio had been decked out for the Christmas holiday, including two of his friends who were dressed up as Santa Claus and an elf. Chris said in the video, “You guys know Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. I have so many Christmas songs I want to do; it was hard to narrow it down to this album.” The video can be seen here.

The release date for the Christmas album has not been revealed yet, but Chris promised more information about it as the holidays get closer.
