The track is part of the Apple Music Exclusive Carols Covered Collection
Parker McCollum is gearing up for his favorite holiday visitor with the release of his rendition of the classic tune, “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town,” as part of Apple Music Exclusive Carols Covered Collection. McCollum, known for his authentic and relatable chart toppers, puts his distinctive twist on the holiday staple and sets the perfect tone as we ready our trees and stockings for Kris Kringle.
“I covered the Bruce Springsteen version on Fox News in Austin, Texas, at 5:30 in the morning,” the country-rock troubadour tells Apple Music. “It was one of the first times I ever played with a full band. I borrowed Brandon Rhyder’s band, and we played ‘Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town.’ It was the first time I was ever on live TV.”
McCollum will perform “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town” live as part of this year’s CMA Country Christmas alongside an all-star line-up. Tune in to ABC on December 2nd to catch McCollum take the ornate stage for an electrifying performance.
This past summer, McCollum released his self-titled fifth studio album via MCA. The album features his current top 10 country single, “What Kinda Man,” and fan favorites such as “Killin’ Me,” “Solid Country Gold,” “Big Sky,” and others. The album is his most personal and shows an artist who is a legacy in the making.
The country star plans to extend his 2026 Parker McCollum Tour.
