Jimmy Barnes is releasing his first-ever Christmas album named "Blue Christmas" this summer.
We all know when it comes to the colour of Christmas it's red, green, and gold, and there's also a movie called "White Christmas".
So why "Blue Christmas?"
When Robert and Jeanette from our Breeze Auckland team asked Jimmy, he revealed that it was a nod to summer, and how we spend our Christmas here - under the blue sky and at the beach.
"Living in Europe for a while, we've spent a lot of time having White Christmasses," Jimmy said.
"You guys are the same here. You don't get White Christmasses down here" Jimmy told Robert & Jeanette.
"More often than not you're by the beach or somewhere by the blue sky"
"It's a bit of a nod to Summer, the way we spend Christmas".
Before announcing his album, Jimmy hinted at his "Blue Christmas" album by sharing a photo of him standing in front of a car carrying a Christmas tree, at the beach and the blue bright sky in the background - a classic Christmas for Kiwis and Aussies.
A perfect photo to depict our Christmas, our "Blue Christmas".

Being a big fan of Christmas, he knew he wanted to make a Christmas album. A few weeks back, he talked about the inspiration behind his Christmas album on Instagram.
