Dan + Shay Bring Holiday Cheer with Exciting New Christmas Album Announcement
Throughout their nearly decade-long career, fans have been asking Dan + Shay for a Christmas album, and now the wait is finally over.
A few weeks ago, the three-time Grammy Award-winning duo hinted at the possibility of a Christmas album by posting a video on their Instagram page. In the video, they appeared to be recording in a studio decorated with Christmas lights and a Christmas tree in the background.
