Beginning to Look Like Xmas is the second festive release from Richard Ellis Hawley, blending classic Christmas favourites with vibrant swing, pop, and contemporary keyboard styling. This collection showcases a warm, uplifting holiday sound with a few unexpected twists, including a joyful rendition of Dragostea Din Tei and a soulful cover of You Are the Sunshine of My Life.

From the gentle beauty of The First Noel to the bright energy of Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree and Jingle Bells, each track is arranged and performed with Richard’s signature musicality, personality, and Christmas spirit.

Created as part of a growing seasonal series, this album celebrates togetherness, nostalgia, and the joy of sharing music throughout the holidays. Press play, follow, share, and help support independent music this Christmas.
