"When Christmas Comes Around" is the debut single by English singer Matt Terry. The song was written by Ed Sheeran and Amy Wadge and was released as the winner's single of thirteenth series of The X Factor on 11 December 2016.[2] All the record company profits from Terry's single were shared equally between two charities: Together for Short Lives and Shooting Star CHASE. It was the sixth year running that the UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer waived VAT on The X Factor's winner's single.[3]
It is the second time in the show's history that a UK X Factor winner has released an original winner's single. The only other original was that of second series winner Shayne Ward and his debut single "That's My Goal". It was also the first winner's single that was not performed by the winner or runner-up until the results were unveiled.
