Ready Set Glow -- A Holiday Collection, Kevin Jonas Sr. (RedVan)

This is the father of the Jonas Brothers offering his own EP of Christmas music for 2024. Often known as "Papa Jonas," the collection is released under his own name, and all songs are written or co-written by him. The title song provides a fairly cool pop-rocker to get your attention, then we get "Jesu Bambino/O Holy Night," an original tied into the classic carol. "ChrisMess" is a fun take on dodging everyone's issues during holiday gatherings, "Stained Glass Window" is a power ballad (remember those?) about worshiping in church, "Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)" offers the I-got-mine-give-everybody-else theirs sentiment often heard this time of year, and "Wrap Me Up in Christmas" is a nice uptempo party song, although having Mom ask to be unwrapped at the end might not be as sexy as the composer thought it was. "ChrisMess" gets a reprise at the end in a more countrified version. All told, it's kind of a Dad-joke equivalent of a Christmas collection, but feel free to graze it for playlist entries.
