Actor-director-singer Seth MacFarlane is recording his first Christmas album.
The 40-year-old ‘Family Guy’ creator recorded a collection of classic seasonal favourites and lesser-known songs with producer Joel McNeely at Abbey Road Studios in a studio where The Beatles’ played, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Norah Jones has recorded a duet with MacFarlane for ‘Little Jack Frost Get Lost’, while Sara Bareilles sings on ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’. Also featured on the festive tracks will be a 52-piece orchestra of London musicians. MacFarlane’s Christmas album will be released later in the year.
