Jamie Alimorad, the award-winning vocalist behind hits like Brighter Days and Fade Into You, kicks off the holiday season with a riotous twist on Christmas cheer in his brand-new single โSanta Sucks.โ Released November 7th, this track marks his first-ever holiday song, and instead of mistletoe dreams or cozy fireplace romance, Alimorad aims straight for the North Pole, because sometimes Santa just doesnโt deliver.
After joking with a friend that modern Christmas songs all chase the same โlovey-dovey nostalgia,โ Alimorad flipped the script โ what about the kid who tries so hard to make the Nice List, only to get snubbed year after year? From that grin-inducing premise, โSanta Sucksโ was born, giving holiday underdogs their long-overdue anthem.
Co-produced with Jordan Sherman in a tight, polished pop-rock format, the song bursts open with catchy, chunky guitars and thumping drums, instantly pulling listeners into the chaos of a Christmas gone wrong. Alimoradโs lead vocal is spirited and theatrical โ playful, frustrated, and relentlessly charismatic as he narrates the agony of a wishlist ignored. Each line feels like a punchline delivered with the conviction of someone who has clearly been burned by Santa one too many times.
Then comes the magic, with a chorus powered by over 50 voices, family, friends, and music students from around the world, chanting along with gleeful rebellion. It feels like the whole neighborhood is yelling back at Santa together.
โSanta Sucksโ doesnโt aim to spoil Christmas โ it actually celebrates what makes the season memorable: community, humor, and the imperfections that turn into stories we laugh about for years. So whether Santa forgot you onceโฆ or every year, this track lets you shout it loud and proud: Santa kinda sucks โ and it sounds fantastic.
