Seán Griffin, a long-time rocker and songwriter, opens a heartfelt gift this season with his new song, "I'm in Love for Christmas," released by Right Track Records and Universal Music Operations, which sent it out to stores. It is a nice sneak peek at Griffin's next solo album, which will come out in March 2026.
More than 20 years ago, Griffin wrote the song, and it captures the spark of a moment that changed everything. Griffin goes back to the Christmas after he first met his wife, a time full of hope, chaos, and early magic. He makes music out of this moment that is warm and personal. Now, twenty years later and as a father of six, Griffin's thoughts on the song give it a sense of memories and lasting happiness, making it feel both personal and universal.
"I'm in Love for Christmas" sounds great when you mix sleigh bells with acoustic guitars. Like sunlight catching winter frost, a fiddle weaves through the melody. There are hints of country and Irish traditional flavors that deepen the song without taking away from Griffin's storytelling, which remains its emotional center. The rhythm section moves the song along slowly, giving it a natural flow that is like the warmth of holiday gatherings and quiet, thoughtful times.
The result is a Christmas song that not only celebrates the holiday but also love, connection, and the magic of memories. Griffin has crafted a song that could become an immediate classic. It could quickly become a holiday favorite, drawing people in with both his story and the universal feeling of falling in love during the most magical time of the year.
