A wave of Latin acts have embraced the holiday spirit by releasing new songs related to Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
This year, Camilo and Evaluna Montaner joined forces for “Navidad En Cada Esquina,” giving the all-time holiday classic “It’s Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas” a bilingual and salsa twist.
“Our version mixes the feeling of Christmas back home in Colombia and Venezuela with what Christmas feels like in the States,” Camilo said of the release in a press statement. “When I started spending the holidays here with Evaluna, I was like, wow — this is a whole different vibe. In Latin America Christmas is loud, there’s dancing, there’s movement… and in the U.S., it’s all about getting cozy because it’s cold outside. I ended up loving both cultures, so with this version of ‘It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,’ we wanted to bring those two worlds together. Every time I hear it, it takes me back to my family, and I hope it does the same for other people too.”
Thalía, on the other hand, released an original flirty tune called “Santa (Tengo Un Crush Contigo),” in both English and Spanish, describing everything she loves about the festive season. “It has that rhythm that makes you move without even realizing it, like you’re part of a movie musical, full of light, joy, and magic,” she noted in a statement. “Every line paints a visual scene, and that’s why every time I hear it, I get emotional.”
Meanwhile, artists such as Gloria Trevi and Victor Manuelled also opted to give fans new Xmas EPs in the spirit of the holidays.
