Unlike Ariana’s previous holiday releases, Ari went more of a slow-jam route for most of Christmas and Chill. The tracks “Wit It This Christmas,” “December,” and “True Love” show off Ariana’s incredible vocals while backed by bumping bass and smooth R&B melodies. “Not Just One For Christmas” has the most Christmasy vibe, while the final song on the EP, “Winter Things,” brings in some ukulele for a fun switch-up from the rest of the record. But no matter how the songs sound, Ari still made sure to sing all about her favorite Christmas things! Take a listen to the songs here!
Although Ari didn’t officially announce her newest holiday EP, she took to social media to tease it and get fans excited for what was coming. She previewed four of the six songs on her Snapchat and Instagram, also sneakily sharing some of the lyrics on Twitter!

These six songs add to Ariana’s holiday music collection, including 2013’s Christmas Kisses EP and 2014’s irresistibly catchy single “Santa Tell Me.” We certainly don’t mind getting new Christmas tunes from Ariana every year!
As if we weren’t excited enough for Christmas or Ariana’s forthcoming third studio album, Moonlight, she gave us even more to cheer about! Talk about an amazingly perfect way to get in the holiday spirit!
