"'Mistletoe and Holly' is a Christmas classic, and I'm excited to release it in support of a classic charity during the Christmas season," said Robert Davi, who recently released his first studio album, Davi Sings Sinatra - On The Road To Romance. "This is a great opportunity to help make more Christmas dreams come true for children, teens and seniors in need."

"Music has always been a big part of The Salvation Army, especially at Christmas, so partnering with a singer like Robert Davi is a great and natural fit," said Major George Hood, national community relations and development secretary for The Salvation Army. "Every dollar donated from the proceeds of the single will help us provide assistance to nearly 4 million people in need this Christmas season."
