After announcing its release just five days ago via Instagram, Victoria Monét has dropped her festive flip on her acclaimed sophomore studio project JAGUAR II. 

On A Jaguar II Christmas: The Orchestral Arrangements, the originally 11-track album is shortened and stripped of its vocals. Rounding out at eight tracks, some of the song’s titles are reworked – “Stop (Askin Me 4Shyt)” becomes “Stop (Askin Me 4Gifts).” Some songs lean fully into the Christmas component, fully interpolating the cut into the OG, while others rely more on the JAGUAR II track and give Jingle Bells a backseat. Find the full tracklist below.

1. It’s a Celebration Every Time It Snows
2. Cadillac Christmas
3. How Does It Make You Feel
4. On My Mama (Christmas Medley)
5. I’m The One (Jingle Bells)
6. Stop (Askin Me 4Gifts)
7. Christmas in Hollywood
8. Merry Christmas Dan (Deluxe Medley)

“A gift from me to you 🎁 (and family friendly for the kids, I promise 😇)!!! Arranged and conducted by @pirahnahead_313 and played by his incredible Soulchestra in Detroit! 🥹 I hope this fills you and your family with much needed holiday cheer and the Christmas spirit,” she wrote in an Instagram caption.


A Jaguar II Christmas marks the third version of JAGUAR II, which landed its deluxe version back in October.
