Charlie Wilson is bringing a family moment into the holiday playlist.

The R&B singer released “Christmas Is You” on November 6, featuring his four-year-old granddaughter, Phebe Paran. Apple Music lists the release as a two-track single, including the main recording and a radio edit.

The song’s centerpiece includes a spoken exchange between Wilson and his granddaughter, giving listeners a glimpse of the family connection behind the record.

According to Music Existence’s release coverage, the song was co-written and produced by ajsmets and issued through Parandise/P Music Group. Its story looks back on shared holiday memories and a relationship that has grown over time.

There is another development for fans who want a longer holiday project. P Music Group chief Michael Paran said in the release coverage that a full Christmas EP is planned for 2027. A final release date and track list were not provided.

That makes the new single both a seasonal release and an early introduction to a larger project in the works.

Wilson’s catalog already crosses generations, and the appearance by Phebe brings that idea directly into the recording. A familiar voice from R&B history is sharing space with a younger family member, making the song’s message part of its performance.
