Jimmy Fallon’s latest Christmas song featuring Carter Faith, “Ugly Sweater,” is set to drop during tonight’s Thanksgiving episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The song is part of Fallon’s hilarious holiday album, Holiday Seasoning, which also features duets with Dolly Parton, Justin Timberlake, The Jonas Brothers, The Roots, and more, making Carter Faith the newest addition to the lineup.
The song is a satirical jingle about a classy Christmas party with a confused dress code. Faith, dressed in a sultry Christmas cocktail dress, sings about the awkward situation when Fallon shows up in an ugly Christmas sweater only to realize he misinterpreted the party’s theme. Surrounded by friends in formal attire, Fallon feels embarrassed that he didn’t get the memo.
The inspiration for the song came from a true story involving Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Ryan Reynolds at a holiday party where Reynolds was pranked into wearing an ugly sweater when no one else did. Fallon found the story amusing and thought Faith’s voice would be perfect for a rom-com country song about the humorous mix-up.
Fallon describes the holiday single as a ’70s-style old-school country duet and has teased the full song to drop this evening. The song, written by Fallon and produced by Dave Cobb, will be released by Republic Records.
While Fallon’s album and “Ugly Sweater” song offer a light-hearted and humorous take on holiday festivities, it also serves as a reflection of the unexpected and comedic moments that can arise during the festive season. Look out for the full song release to enjoy the catchy tune that encapsulates the holiday spirit with a comedic twist.
