The song arrived just in time for the most wonderful time of the year.
Charlie Puth

Charlie Puth is in the festive mood, and to celebrate, he dropped a new holiday song, “December 25th,” on Thursday (Nov. 7).
“December 25th is the day I always miss you the most/ ‘Cause the music and the lights, it reminds me of a night/ That you told me you had to go/ December 25th is the day that always hits me the most/ Still got no goodbye/ So I’d rather stay inside/ Spending Christmas here alone,” he sings on the melancholy, 80s-inspired track.
“I wrote and recorded December 25 completely on a whim a few weeks ago in my studio while working on my new album,” the Grammy-nominated artist shared in a press statement, “and though it sounds absolutely nothing like anything on the album, I figured why not share it for the holidays. So here you go.”
Despite the heartbreaking song, Puth has a lot of joy in his life this holiday season — and he’s certainly not spending it alone. The 32-year-old star tied the knot with Brooke Sansone on Sept. 7 at Puth’s family home in Montecito, Calif.. The couple have been dating since June 2022, though they both grew up in New Jersey — a fact they paid tribute to by using Bruce Springsteen’s “Jersey Girl” as their first-dance song, according to Vogue. After a year and three months together, Puth flew from Los Angeles to New York City and proposed to Sansone at 11:11 p.m. on Sept. 5, 2023.
