Alex Miller’s “That’s What Christmas Is For” Premieres On People.com, New Holiday “Classic” Set For November 12 Release

November 22, 2021

American Idol alum Alex Miller’s latest single, “That’s What Christmas Is For,” premieres on People.com. The Kentucky native’s first holiday release for Billy Jam Records is sure to become a seasonal classic – offering a bright, brisk track highlighted by Miller’s warm baritone voice. Written by Nashville tunesmiths C. Aaron Wilburn and Jerry Salley, the record is available for pre-order now with a November 12 delivery.

Well, it’s Christmas Eve around the tree

Excitement in the air

Mama brought some apple pie for everyone to share

And that chocolate fudge sure is good I think I’ll have some more

Well, I might gain weight but pass the plate

That’s what Christmas is for (C. Aaron Wilburn/Jerry Salley)

“I’ve been a sucker for catchy holiday tunes since I first watched the movie Elf,” Alex admits. “I really liked the feel of this one – and all the memories of past Christmases it called up for me.”

The rising star has a sleigh full of happy holiday recollections: While attending Paint Lick Elementary School in Lancaster, KY, Miller performed in several festive plays and musicals. “Mainly it was to get out of English, math and social studies,” Alex confesses. “But I actually learned quite a bit. I was in The Nutcracker for several years — once played a soldier and one year a tree. You can learn a lot about stage presence by playing a tree,” he adds with a laugh.

After a busy November and December on the road, Alex plans to spend this Christmas at his Dad’s house with his Grandparents and brother Parker.
