This Christmas Day is the fifth studio album and first official Christmas album by English singer Jessie J, released by Republic Records on 26 October 2018. The album, a follow-up to her four-part fourth studio album R.O.S.E. which had been released earlier that year, marked the singer's first Christmas album. Recording took place, at short notice, in both Europe and Los Angeles in August 2018. This Christmas Day consists of eleven tracks, featuring ten cover versions of Christmas standards and carols, two of which are duets featuring recording artists Babyface, and Boyz II Men, and one original song.[2]
Upon release, the album earned a mixed reception from music critics who were impressed with Jessie J's vocals and the work of her team of iconic producers such as David Foster, Rodney Jerkins, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis,[3] but found that the singer was overselling and the classic material on the album lacked originality. On the charts, This Christmas Day debuted and peaked at number 48 on the US Top Holiday Albums. Its release was accompanied by a lyric video for the promotional single "This Christmas Day", penned by Jessie J.
