American Idol Alum HunterGirl Holiday Tracks Featured in Hallmark Christmas Movies
HunterGirl has released her first-ever original holiday tracks with the spirited “Hurry Up Christmas” and the dreamy “Christmas Again.” Both of the songs are co-written by the American Idol 2022 runner-up and 19 Recordings/Wheelhouse Records’ artist.
“When I found out that two songs I wrote were going to be featured in the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas movies, I was so excited for my whole family, especially my Nana,” she explains. “I’ve been watching Hallmark Christmas movies with my family since I was a little girl, so hearing my song, ‘Hurry Up Christmas,’ in Christmas Island over the weekend was a moment I will never forget.”
HunterGirl “Ain’t About You” Impacts Country Radio, Makes History
The song behind Hallmark Channel’s “Countdown to Christmas” and new movie Christmas Island, which premiered over the weekend (11/11), the joyful and jolly “Hurry Up Christmas” highlights the country singer/songwriter’s dynamic voice. While “Christmas Again,” to be featured in the network’s upcoming sequel, Haul Out The Holly: Lit Up, premiering November 25, demonstrates the versatility of her vocal range.
