As October is coming to a close and Halloween is right around the corner, the dawn of November 1st brings with what some consider the beginning of the holiday season with Thanksgiving and the winter holidays fast approaching.
November 1st is also the day that The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon will release his new holiday comedy album, Holiday Seasoning to help ring in the most wonderful time of the year.
The album is an original project consisting of 16 tracks. It will feature “previously released singles” such as “It Was A… (Masked Christmas)” featuring Ariana Grande and Megan Thee Stallion, “Almost Too Early for Christmas” featuring Dolly Parton, and “Wrap Me Up” with Meghan Trainor.
Other collaborators on the album with Fallon include "Will Ferrell, Justin Timberlake, and the Jonas Brothers.”
December will usher in a variety of holiday shows, specials, and movies, with NBC showcasing a holiday special accompanying Fallon's album set to air on December 4th.
