Watch Jay Wheeler and Zhamira Zambrano’s Christmas Music Video: EXCLUSIVE

These holidays will forever be remembered by Jay Wheeler and Zhamira Zambrano.

The couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Aiunii, in September and celebrated their first year of marriage on December 2nd. Now, as a gift before the most wonderful time of the year, they’re exclusively premiering the music video for their new child Christmas song “Santa” on TODAY.com.

The song is a melancholic tune about missing someone at Christmas and hoping to get them back. The accompanying image is a timeless concept: Wheeler and Zambrano are elegantly dressed as they sing the emotional lyrics separately and then together on stage. They are also accompanied by dancers in festive costumes.

“When people create a great Christmas song, it lasts forever,” Wheeler tells TODAY.com in Spanish about the song’s inspiration. “So I said to my wife, let’s make a Christmas song together so people can play it every Christmas when they’re sad. And because we make sad songs, it had to be a sad Christmas song.”

“Santa” is the third collaboration between the two after their hits “Dicelo” and “Extrañandote”.

Zambrano adds that they opted for a different interpretation of a Christmas tune and decided to use the “desamor“or heartbreak that many people experience during this time of year. “It’s a bittersweet song,” she says, adding that she hopes her fans embrace it as much as her previous collaborations.

The couple, who have yet to show their daughter’s face on social media, haven’t included Aiunii in the music video – but they already have an idea of ​​when that might be.

“We were thinking about including our daughter, but I want to include her in another song I have,” Wheeler says.

The couple is looking forward to celebrating their little girl’s first Christmas together and spending the first holidays in their new home. Wheeler shares that he made sure to put up Christmas lights specifically for his daughter.

Even as a family of three, they look forward to new and old traditions.

“My parents always made us believe in El Niño Jesús and Santa Claus, that they would come and deliver the presents at 12 p.m.,” says Zambrano. “I always thought it was so funny. When I found out it wasn’t real I was really sad because I felt like I had lost a little bit of that Christmas magic. But now I can relive it all with my baby and have a few years each year to make magic for her.”

For Wheeler, he wants to make sure his daughter’s first Christmas is special and memorable. “So when she’s older and sees photos, she says, ‘You did this for me?’ And I can say, ‘Yes, because it was your first Christmas.'”

Zambrano adds: “Since we had the baby, we’ve been more of a team because we have to work together to make everything work.” We’re doing a lot of things at the moment, but since we’re doing it together it’s a little easier. I feel like it’s helped us grow as a couple, as a team, and I just think it makes us stronger.”
