The record sees them covering classics they loved during their childhoods, like “White Christmas,” and “Winter Wonderland,” alongside the new tracks, “Christmas in New York,” “Together,” and “Happy Days.” The group, which is are currently on their “ DNA World Tour,”also worked with musicians including Beck’s father, David Campbell, who conducted “incredible” string arrangements. ![]() McLean and Carter cowrote the new tracks with Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough and Brian Littrell. It was like, ‘Let’s put some positive stuff out there,’ so we wrote ‘Happy Days.’” Especially with the way the world is right now.
