The set’s first single “Mistletoe” will be launched worldwide with the video on Oct. 18th.
The accompanying video was shot last week in Franklin, Tenn., by Roman White, who also directed Justin’s “One Less Lonely Girl” video.
The video opens on a crowded set with quick flashes of camera crews, and a look at the set complete with an artifical snow maker.
Justin appears standing in the middle of a snowy street with a vintage Porsche behind him. His song can be heard in a voice over.
Justin’s dressed in black, with just a hint of festive red in his gloves.
He’s next spotted with a raven-haired Selena look-a-like and the scene transitions to a more traditional Christmas look.
The album is a seasonal mix of traditional Christmas standards and new holiday music.
He signed top pop songwriters Nasri and Adam Messinger, also known The Messengers from Canada to write and produce the music. Bieber is listed as a co-writer.
The Messengers wrote and produced Justin’s chart-dominating hit “Never Say Never,” the title track from his hit concert film of the same name.
In addition to “Mistletoe,” the Messengers wrote and produced the songs “Christmas Love” and “Home For Christmas” (featuring The Band Perry). Kuk Harrell produced.
Usher will make a guest appearance on “The Christmas Song,” and Boyz II Men, Busta Rhymes and The Band Perry will also contribute.
