With regards to the title track "Make It merry," Connick writes, "When I recorded this originally, on my first Christmas album, I remember being in the capitol records studio in los angeles beating on a cardboard box for the drums. on my new album `make it merry,' the version's recording isn't much different. I was by myself recording all of the instruments and vocals, but I asked my buddy, Jonathan Dubose, Jr., to join me. he's my secret weapon - he makes every song better! we had so much fun trading solos. Make sure to stream my new album `make it merry' on Apple Music!"

Long regarded as one of America's finest vocalists and pianists, Harry has continued to establish himself as one of the most beloved artists performing holiday music to date. The 12-track album, which marks his fourth holiday album, features Harry's definitive take on Christmas classics including "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "Jingle Bells," as well as newly-recorded versions of his own originals and fan favorites like "(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus" and "When My Heart Finds Christmas," alongside two brand-new, original songs that are sure to become instant holiday classics. "Make It Merry" is the first of the original songs, along with "On This Christmas Morning," set to be featured on the album.
