Charlottesville, VA (November 21, 2025)—Award-winning band The Kody Norris Show is ringing in the holiday season with a bouncy, jovial take on the Christmas classic "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."


Frontman Kody Norris has long been known for his love of the holidays and the joy they inspire. For this year’s Christmas offering, the group selected the timeless classic “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” aiming to capture the magic, nostalgia, and warmth that define the season. Their rendition delivers a heartfelt nod to cherished childhood memories and the anticipation that builds as families prepare for Santa’s arrival.


"No Christmas would be complete at our house without an abundance of Gene Autry Christmas records,” Norris reminisces. “Since childhood these recordings have been a staple of Christmas in my world, so naturally when asked to make a recording for this Holiday Season, 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' made it to the front of the line. I hope the magic of Christmas will shine through as we take you on a nostalgic journey of happy times and fond memories as we all get ready for Santa Claus to come to town.”


This new single follows the band’s 2023 holiday release, “Mountain City Christmas,” an original song written by Norris about his hometown of Mountain City, Tennessee. Embracing a classic bluegrass theme of longing for home and loved ones, the song became a longtime live-show favorite before its official release in and has since become a cherished seasonal staple among fans.
