Jessica Simpson is trading her country boots for snow ones. The multi-platinum singer and designer is releasing her second Christmas album this year, “Happy Christmas.”
“Happy Christmas” is Simpson’s first album since her country set “Do You Know” in 2008 and her second holiday album, following the release of “Rejoyce: the Christmas Album” in 2004.
While “Rejoyce” featured duets with her sister Ashlee Simpson and then-husband Nick Lachey, “Happy Christmas” sees her pairing up once again with her “Dukes of Hazzard” co-star Willie Nelson and also a U.S. Marine.
Nelson and Simpson will perform “Merry Christmas Baby” on her upcoming new album, while Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class John Britt and Simpson will appear on the duet “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” which was recorded on the U.S.S. Harry Truman.
Simpson will also perform covers of classics like “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Happy Xmas (War Is Over),” and “Here Comes Santa Claus/Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.”
Simpson is set to perform her duet with Britt at the Rockefeller Tree Lighting Ceremony, which airs live on NBC. She’ll also host her own PBS holiday special, performing songs from “Happy Christmas.”
The album will be available at Macy’s stores and Macys.com, as well as music stores everywhere beginning Monday, November 22nd
