Christmas, my favorite time of the year, when the jollof is sweeter and the chicken bigger…” With these catchy lyrics, Funke Akindele, popularly known as Jenifa, has gifted Nigerians their very own Christmas anthem, Everybody Loves Christmas.
Produced by renowned RnB maestro Cobhams Asuquo and directed by Pink, the festive song is performed by a star-studded lineup including Dbanj, Waje, Falz, Bisola Aiyeola, Sharon Ooja, and Lateef Adedimeji, among others. Featured in Akindele’s 2024 holiday blockbuster Everybody Loves Jenifa: The Movie, the song encapsulates the joy and traditions of a Nigerian Christmas.
From delicious meals and children’s holiday performances to the reunion of loved ones, the song celebrates what makes Christmas special in Nigeria while emphasizing that “love is the bottom line of the season.” Dbanj and Falz add a unique flair with their signature rapping styles, while other cast members surprise fans with their impressive vocals.
The release has sparked excitement across social media, with netizens praising Akindele for creating a song that resonates deeply with Nigerians and Africans, likening it to Mariah Carey’s iconic All I Want For Christmas Is You.
