The host of “Hoge Wild” enlists ACM award-winning O’Neal for the classic duet, whose “velvety harmonies perfectly meld with Hoge’s charming croons” (Sounds Like Nashville). Sounds Like Nashville exclusively premiered a ‘First Listen’ to the track, praising that Hoge’s version “is every bit cheery and cozy, while also brimming with playful holiday romance.”
“This is my favorite project to date, not only did I have the best time recording this with such a revered producer in the industry as Kent Wells. I got to have some good friends and amazing country artists be a part of this as well,” shared Hoge. “Being able to have one of my musical inspirations, Skip Ewing, duet a song with me and have Jamie O’Neal’s tremendous vocals on ‘Let it Snow’ was a dream.
