This holiday tune remake by the brother-sister group Lawrence is from the original motion picture soundtrack for the film "Noelle."

11 a.m. - Bernie Martini - Falling For You Like Snow
Although he lives in San Antonio, Texas, Bernie Martini has a metaphor for falling in love that relates to falling snow. Martini is considered, at least by some, as a "legendary piano man," with a smooth crooning voice that makes this brand new song feel like a Christmas standard.

Kelson's warm, honey vocals pair with contemporary production and modern beats…instantly transporting you to a chic yet smoky, boho nightclub. This jazzy new original is a fun one to add to your own Christmas playlist.
