Mick J. Clark captures the frantic thrill of the holidays on his upbeat new single, “It’s Getting Near Christmas.” released on January 1, 2026 a delightfully eccentric choice on the calendar that keeps the festive spirit spinning year-round the track leans headfirst into pure seasonal momentum.
Clark, an accomplished singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with over a million Spotify streams and previous recognition on the Grammy ballot, crafts a bright, bouncy pop bounce driven by a steady underlying groove. Sparkling, chiming melodic layers weave across guitar, drums, and keyboards, mimicking the cheerful delirium of festive preparation.
The charm lies in how Clark threads romance through the holiday scramble. Seasonal traditions are rarely tidy affairs; they are loud, stressful, communal marathons where rushed shopping and warmth happily collide. Clark embraces that lively rush, grounding the energetic harmonic structure with genuine heart. There is an infectious lack of cynicism across the track, prioritizing togetherness over pristine perfection.
Does the holiday season ever truly leave us, or do we spend the entire year secretly waiting to plunge back into the sparkle?
