AceShowbiz - Elle Townley is set to release her rendition of the classic holiday hymn O Holy Night on November 20, 2026, accompanied by a lyric video on her YouTube channel. The award-winning Texas teen singer-songwriter and independent recording artist has cherished the song since childhood, making it a natural choice for the season.

Townley, who also performed most of the guitar arrangements and backing vocals, offers a deeply personal interpretation rooted in her faith and the hope of Christmas. "‘O Holy Night’ has been my favorite traditional Christmas song to sing since I was a little girl, making this release especially meaningful to me," Townley said. "Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I hope this rendition reminds listeners of the true meaning of the season: the birth of Jesus, His love, and the hope He brings to the world. I hope my version is a reminder of the reason for the season!"

In addition to O Holy Night, Townley has her festive single and music video for Perfect Christmas, which she unveiled in 2025. The swanky retro country original recalls past holidays tinged with loneliness but flips the script as she determines to make every moment count, surrounded by friends and family. The song earned Townley a pair of nominations at the 2026 Josie Music Awards for Best Actress in a Music Video and Social Impact Video of the Year, and it was added to Holler Country's 2025 holiday playlist.

"My wish is that this song brings hope to anyone who feels lonely during the holidays," Townley said of Perfect Christmas. "It’s a reminder that even when things may feel dark, we can still find light and create our own joy. I was thrilled to include some of my family and friends in the new music video, which I think captures the essence of the song’s message perfectly!"

Fellow JWA Media artist Whey Jennings has also released a holiday-inspired track, a remake of Leonard Cohen's classic folk gospel rocker Hallelujah. Jennings' rich baritone vocals and Southern allure put his own stamp on the song, which has also been covered by the likes of Jeff Buckley, Willie Nelson and Brandi Carlile. On the track, Jennings soulfully projects his own personal praise, giving thanks to God for his newfound life of sobriety while celebrating the upcoming holiday season and the birth of Jesus Christ.

"Hallelujah is a song that saved my life and it continues to save my life everyday," Jennings said. "It has not only brought me closer to God, but it has also allowed me to bring others closer to God. I perform this song night after night at my shows. Hallelujah and Praise the Lord!"

Both releases are available now, with Townley's O Holy Night arriving on November 20. The holiday offerings from JWA Media artists add to the season's musical landscape, with Townley and Jennings each bringing personal faith and reflection to their respective tracks.
