Background

Laufey said of the song:

Writing an original Christmas song was such a fun challenge. My fans know I love the holiday season, and I wanted to give them something special this year to thank them for all of their support. Then having an original in the film Red One was a pleasure, combining the two was the perfect gift! [1]

Composition

"Christmas Magic" is a jazz-inflected, Christmas-themed song, inspired by Ella Fitzgerald. [2]

Live performances

Laufey performed the song on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge and The Graham Norton Show on 17 and 20 December 2024, respectively. [3] [4]
