Dust off the decorations, and bid farewell to the overplayed classics – without saying goodbye to their values, or the joyful bounce of their sound.
Austrian producer and songwriter Nathan Hildebrand is far from a stranger to the studio, but this year, the creative has set upon a global mission – to inspire and connect people, to promote the importance of unity, family, and love, with original music underlining the everlasting traditional values of Christmas.
Creating as De Brand, Nathan has compiled three full album volumes under the title of One World One Christmas. His dream is simple, to celebrate the season with original creativity and songwriting, whilst holding true to the timeless values, sounds and sentiments, that ultimately remind us to cherish one another at this time of year.
As we press play, Hearts Come Home at Christmas feels like the very best way to kick things off – a seasonal starter track that boosts your mood with a colourful set-up, energy, optimism, and a huge choir crescendo for the hook. It’s an upbeat jam with a catchy chorus, and its joy radiates – a bright and beautiful arrangement, designed to get you feeling primed and ready for the Christmas season.
More than this, while the music uplifts, the sentiments ring loudly as the beating heart of Christmas. The reasons we stop and celebrate, the togetherness, the shared wonder and magic – the lyrics found throughout this project help elevate those qualities, and remind us not only with the mood, but with the substance, that Christmas is a time for forgiveness, happiness, and relief from the weight of the world.
The upbeat energy then continues, with Jingle All the Way Tonight, and the colourful favourite Snowflakes and Smiles, providing an energising awakening, and original songwriting that feels classic but fresh for the 2025 Christmas music collection.
As you set up the decorations this December 1st, One World One Christmas has you covered on the playlist front. The classic vibe and excitement of comforting Christmas Music, but with a whole new thread of high-quality tunes and choruses to get you feeling something fresh.
Filled with classic Christmas sounds and references, from Jingle Jingle all The Way to Let It Snow Tonight and Shine Like Christmas Lights, One World One Christmas provides three volumes of warm, evocative, melodic and catchy Christmas music. Blending gentle pop production with heartfelt, purposeful themes of unity, peace, and kindness, the first instalment undeniably shines light on Nathan Hildebrand’s goal, to bring comfort and connection to all, during this holiday season and beyond.
Other highlights from Vol. 1 include the softer pop tones and acoustic aura of the beautifully simple and uplifting Under the Mistletoe, and the hugely impassioned anthem and choir-brightness of Christmas in The Air Tonight. In reality though, this whole album is a joy to simply let play, and features top quality production throughout – meaning you can stream these Christmas songs at volume to your heart’s content.
This first volume also includes the project’s title track, One World One Christmas, as its closing track. Here we get a rightful conclusion and summary, of the inherent values and aspirations that led to the creation of this hope-filled and inclusive Christmas project. The song is a celebration in itself, a euphoric earworm, with an unignorable value at its core, a sentiment that resounds and connects as the song consistently loops back to its inspiring and enlivening chorus.
Fusing elements of traditional Christmas music with the modern production tools of today, One World One Christmas feels like a best-of collection from a new era. The timeless celebrations remain, but we get new melodies, new vocal choirs, new riffs, celebrations and images, and a whole new selection of original Christmas songs.
