Curb | Word Entertainment’s Love & The Outcome celebrates the upcoming holiday season with “The Wonder of Christmas,” out today (10/21) — listen to the new holiday track HERE.

The first in a pair of new seasonal selections releasing this year from Love & The Outcome, “The Wonder of Christmas” provides a glimpse into the birth of Jesus through the lens of a parent. Husband and wife Jodi King and Chris Rademaker welcome listeners into their home for the holidays as they experience Christmas through the wide-eyed wonder of their two boys, Milo and Ziggy. The bright song, full of descriptive lyrics and childlike faith, reminds us that the reigning King of Kings was once a tiny, innocent baby in a manger, and invites us to relish the wonder of the season. The duo, who will celebrate 19 years of marriage in December, wrote the song with Tony Wood and Mark Campbell, the latter of whom also produced the single.
