Slanted Records group JUMP5 will be giving fans a Christmas gift this year with the release of the holiday album, Christmas Like This, available on November 20, 2007, for only $7.99 exclusively through all major digital outlets including iTunes and Rhapsody. Digital distribution for Christmas Like This is through EMI CMG Distribution.
"This record is special because we wrote quite a few songs on it," says JUMP5's Chris Fedun. "I hope it will give the fans that little Christmas feeling we all had when we were kids. And I hope they will continue to listen to it year after year!"
JUMP5 decided to head into the studio and record Christmas Like This as a final gift to fans who have followed the group through the years. JUMP5 released their "farewell" album, Hello & Goodbye, on October 9th, and they are currently in the middle of a 30+ city North American tour, which kicked off September 7th and runs through the end of the year. The Hello & Goodbye Tour is sponsored by Kingdom Kidz Club and Shoutlife.com, and features performances by Jessie Daniels, Carried Away, pureNRG, Sammy Ward and Cali.

"I am very excited about this CD," says JUMP5's Lesley Moore. "It reminds me of one of the Christmas' holidays that I spent with JUMP5. We were very young and we were going on tour with Dream Street. Because we were just starting out, we didn't have the money to rent a tour bus. So we all piled in a van and headed out on Christmas morning at 5:00am. We had so much fun in the car that day, exchanging presents, singing Christmas songs and stopping at Cracker Barrel for our Christmas dinner! I'll never forget it!"
