Jessie James Decker is getting into the Christmas spirit with a little help from one of her childhood heroes.
The platinum-selling singer-songwriter has teamed up with ’90s country icon Jo Dee Messina for a festive new rendition of “Holly Jolly Christmas,” released Friday, Nov. 13. Produced by Eric Arjes, the duet brings together two generations of country music stars for a holiday collaboration that holds special meaning for Decker.
The partnership is something of a full-circle moment for Decker, who grew up singing along to Messina’s hits, including “Heads Carolina, Tails California” and “Lesson in Leavin’.”
“Getting to sing ‘Holly Jolly Christmas’ with one of my music idols, Jo Dee Messina, is such a pinch-me moment,” Decker said in a statement. “I grew up loving her voice, and now I get to call her my friend, something that will never stop feeling special.”
The singers’ friendship has been developing over the past year. Last December, Decker welcomed Messina into her Nashville home for an acoustic performance of Messina’s 1999 hit “Lesson in Leavin’,” which they recorded during an informal “stair session.”
The pair reunited earlier this month when Decker joined Messina for a show at The Truth in Nashville.
“When she asked me to do a show with her, I was over the moon,” Decker continued. “Sharing the stage and a little Christmas magic with someone I admire so much is a memory I’ll treasure forever.”
‘Jo Dee Messina Says Christmas Is Her Favorite Time of Year’
For Messina, the opportunity to collaborate with Decker was an easy decision.
“Jessie called with this idea and I jumped on it. Christmas is my favorite time of year and Jessie is one of my favorite people,” Messina said in a statement.
“We always have so much fun together. Why not bring that fun together for some holiday joy that we can share with other people. I’m so grateful that she thought of me for this. It’s so fun.”

The new recording arrives during a particularly busy period for both artists.
Decker released her latest cookbook “The Secret Sauce” on Oct. 6. Co-written with her sister Sydney Rae Bass and mother Karen Parker, the book became a New York Times bestseller, marking Decker’s third appearance on the publication’s bestseller list.
She also launched her wellness platform JJD Fit Club over the summer, attracting approximately 40,000 paid subscribers, according to her representatives.
Meanwhile, Messina recently released Bridges, her first studio album in more than a decade. The project explores themes of heartbreak, healing, faith and perseverance, with Messina writing nearly all of its songs herself.
The country star, whose career includes nine No. 1 hits and 16 Top 40 singles, has been touring in support of the album. Her current single, “Message in a Bottle,” is also making its way up the country radio charts.
Now, the two singers are bringing their friendship and shared love of music to the holiday season.
Their version of “Holly Jolly Christmas” is available now on streaming platforms, with an accompanying video also released.
