As a gamer with a heart for music and an unquenchable thirst for unexpected collaborations, I can’t help but be utterly thrilled about Jimmy Fallon’s upcoming holiday album, “Holiday Seasoning.” Growing up in the era of late-night talk shows, I’ve always admired Fallon’s ability to connect with artists from various genres, and this album is a testament to that talent.
Instead of merely ringing bells for the holiday season, Jimmy Fallon is shaking things up by spinning beats. The release of his special show, titled Holiday Seasoning, on November 1st, 2024 promises an unconventional approach as he invites big-name artists such as Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande, Megan Thee Stallion, The Roots, Dolly Parton, and many others. This mix is certain to create a lively, unforgettable holiday experience that will surprise everyone by transforming their playlists into an impromptu party.
It’s no secret that Fallon adores music, but this album demonstrates he’s not just a comedy legend for late-night sketches. Recall when Fallon displayed unabashed fandom over BTS member Jimin during recording sessions for “Who“, visibly electrified as he watched Jimin work on the track? Fallon wasn’t merely an observer—he was actively involved in creating “Holiday Seasoning” while in the studio at that very moment!
On a bright and sunny Monday (October 21st), Fallon, in his usual playful style, chose to unveil his album for us. In a brief and joyful video, he disclosed the impressive lineup of collaborators for the tracklist, much like a child eagerly opening holiday gifts, each collaboration offering a fresh surprise for his upcoming release on November 1st. He skipped the fancy introductions and speeches—just Fallon enjoying himself as he always does best: making fun of it.
The flavors infused during the festive period unveil the enchantment of the holidays. Notably, Megan Thee Stallion, a collaborator with Fallon on this record, created quite a stir this year with her collaboration Neva Play featuring RM from BTS. This demonstrates that musical spheres intertwine more beautifully than we could have envisioned before. Drawing inspiration from this cross-genre harmony, Fallon is crafting an album that’s playful, unexpected, and incredibly addictive.
This isn’t your typical holiday album; it’s a modern twist with a dash of nostalgia. Dolly Parton and Justin Timberlake bring their distinctive charm, but Jimmy Fallon is adding an exciting spin to the usual holiday tunes. The album includes comedic gems like “Christmas Ding Dong” and “Weird Cousin”, as well as big collaborations such as “It Was A… (Masked Christmas)” featuring Ariana Grande and Megan Thee Stallion. There’s a diverse range of surprises, and Fallon even ventures off the beaten path with “New Year’s Eve Polka (5-4-3-2-1)” featuring “Weird Al” Yankovic & The Roots. Whether you’re in the mood for traditional carols or a laugh, there’s something for everyone on this album.
