With Christmas festivities around the corner, Canadian singer/songwriter Kyle Richardson is sharing his own theme song. “Christmas Time This Year” is a beautifully woven indie-pop piece that marks the first time the Vancouver-based musician is releasing a holiday tune. With instrumentation that evokes nostalgia, the song is perfect for bringing families together for the season. Watch the lyric video above.

“Growing up, I always loved the Christmas season, and the holiday songs and movies that came along with it. I wanted to write and record a really warm, nostalgic Christmas tune that could evoke the memories of Christmas seasons past while also being an optimistic and hopeful tune for Christmas times to come.”
