The couple that plays together, stays together. During the Christmas holiday break, Bunnie XO attempted to make some gluten-free biscuits, and the venture turned into a cute and funny moment between the entrepreneur and her husband, country singer Jelly Roll. In a video Bunnie XO posted to Instagram on Christmas Day, the couple playfully pokes fun at Bunnie XO’s seeming lack of baking skills.

BunnieXO wrote over the video, “When you can’t bake to save your life but your hubby requests gluten free biscuits & he knos how terrible they’re about to be.”

While singing and rocking along to Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” the country star gives the Dumb Blonde podcaster a hug as she shapes dough into biscuits and places them on a baking tray.

“These are gonna be awful. Those look like sugar cookies,” he teases with a chuckle as they both laugh.

“Should I make them bigger? I’m not a baker,” she asks Jelly Roll. He responds with a bit of advice: “I’d give them more than an inch. I’d give them an inch and a half.”

Later, Bunnie XO says, “Out of my comfort zone here,” as Jelly Roll teases from off camera, “They look like little sugar cookies!”

Clearly, the couple is having fun together, enjoying the holiday season and spending quality time together.

Jelly Roll has previously opened up about his dedication to his health goals, and his journey to losing more than 100 pounds. While he’s been headlining his The Beautifully Broken Tour this year, Jelly Roll has been staying on track with his lifestyle changes, not only for his career, but for his health. In October, he shared a post on Instagram which showed the “Son of a Sinner” hitmaker’s personal chef detailing the star’s exercise regimen.

“Jelly’s been crushing it,” nutrition coach Ian Larios said in the video, interspersed with clips of the singer working out and performing. “Walking the arenas, playing basketball, boxing. He just surpassed his 100-pound weight loss.”

More recently, Jelly Roll appeared on Dumb Blonde, and the couple talked in-depth about not only his health journey while on tour, but the musician also declared his latest goal of appearing on the cover of Men’s Health magazine in 2026. Meanwhile, not only is Bunnie XO spearheading her popular podcast, but she also recently revealed she has a book set to release in fall 2025.

As of sundown on Wednesday (Dec. 25), Hanukkah 2024 was in full swing — bringing with it eight straight days of family, prayers, candle-lighting and, yes, music.

The canon of songs associated with the holiday is already vast and layered, from classic odes such as “Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah” and “I Have a Little Dreidel” to more contemporary hits from Adam Sandler (“The Chanukah Song”) Peter, Paul and Mary (“Light One Candle”); Too $hort (“The Hanukkah Song”) and more. But this year, a number of artists contributed even more music to the collection, with some dropping brand new compositions and others putting festive spins on beloved tracks released by other stars in previous years.

These include Israeli-American rapper Kosha Dillz’s “Dreidel Dreidel” song and music video — filmed at the heart of New York City’s Santacon to commemorate the rare overlap of Christmas Day and the first day of Hanukkah this year — a radiant dance collaboration from DJ Farbreng, Alex Clare and Matisyahu titled “Spread Light” and a fun original from Disney Jr.’s SuperKitties. Plus, Hanukkah on Broadway tapped Julie Benko for an impassioned holiday rendition of Annie‘s “Tomorrow,” Jewish a cappella group the Y-Studs released a Hanukkah-fied Jackson 5 medley and American-Israeli musician Nissim Black dropped Glory, an album filled with tracks that aren’t necessarily festive but will light up your Hanukkah playlists regardless.

Keep reading to see Billboard‘s fresh Hanukkah picks of 2024 — one for each of the eight days of the Festival of Lights — listed in no particular order below.

Kosha Dillz, “Dreidel Dreidel”

DJ Farbreng, Alex Clare & Matisyahu, “Spread Light – Upmix”

Nissim Black, “Glory”

Hanukkah on Broadway, “Tomorrow”

Disney Jr.’s SuperKitties, “Hanukkah Lights”

Micah E. Wood & Ari Pluznik, “Electric Menorah”

The Klezmatics, “Hanukkah Tree”

Y-Studs, “A Jackson 5 Hanukkah”

Ice Spice boarded her diamond-encrusted sleigh and came bearing gifts this holiday season, as the Bronx princess dropped off her Y2K!: I’m Just a Girl (Deluxe) edition on Christmas Day (Dec. 25).

This edition boasts five new tracks, including collaborations with DaBaby and NLE Choppa, who appear on the anticipated “Hannah Montana,” while Bb Trickz and Anuel AA join the party on different songs.

Ice’s right-hand collaborator, RIOTUSA, helms production duties, with the Grammy-nominated rapper capping off her 2024 with a fresh pack to carry fans into 2025.

The 24-year-old delivered her Y2K debut album in July, which landed at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 with 28,000 total album-equivalent units earned.

Ice Spice also made time ahead of Christmas to give back to the kids in the Bronx neighborhood where she once roamed. Footage emerged of Ice returning to a high school, where students went into a frenzy in their gym.

Clips showed the kids excited, breaking out their phones and iPads to get pictures of their hometown star as she greeted each student in what was another moment in her journey going from “the 4 Line to four times Grammy-nominated.”

There could be even more music coming in 2025, as Ice Spice told Billboard in July she was “so ready” to start working on another project. “I am definitely so ready to start another album,” she said at the time. “So that’s great. I know my label is gonna be really excited to hear that.”

The radio station’s morning show — which begins at 5 a.m. local time — is hosted by popular Mexican radio personality Raúl Brindis, who has over 30 years of on-air experience and promises to bring “a mix of laughter, music and real-life stories that resonate with listeners,” according to an official press release.

“As we expand our footprint into Texas, we are thrilled to bring the SBS legacy to Houston with the launch of La Ley 92.1,” said Raul Alarcon Jr., SBS’ president, CEO and chairman, in the statement. “Houston’s diverse and dynamic Hispanic community deserves a station that is live and hyper local which not only delivers exceptional music but also reflects their culture, pride and traditions. With Raúl Brindis joining our team, we are confident that La Ley 92.1 will quickly become a favorite among listeners.”

Under the slogan “La Nueva Emisora Que Manda en Houston” (the new station that rules Houston), the station features 50,000 songs without any commercial breaks, and spotlights some of the biggest Música Mexicana hitmakers of today such as Carín León, Christian Nodal, Grupo Frontera, Peso Pluma, Banda MS, Julión Álvarez, Intocable and Los Ángeles Azules, to name a few.

Fans can tune in via the radio station or virtually on LaMusica App, here.

La Ley 92.1 FM (KROI-FM HD1 Houston) joins other SBS’ top U.S. Hispanic radio stations in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, Orlando, Tampa and Puerto Rico.

As 2024 most certainly can attest, there isn’t a shortage of new music to discover in the modern age. But while the likes of such diverse acts as Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Rod Wave are pushing things forward, it’s rivaled by a catalog scene that just gets better and better with each passing year.

And in the past 12 months, there has been an avalanche of titles that enhance and further the stories of some of our favorite artists beyond their regular works. Shout-out to those deluxe editions of Queen I, the first Weezer LP and Talking Heads: 77, which, along with the Mr. Bungle vinyl box set, Lou Reed’s final recording, the latest installment of the Miles Davis Bootleg Series and the 30th anniversary vinyl reissue of Plastikman’s rave classic Muzik comprise a sampling of what came out this year from music’s back pages. Needless to say, it was quite a task deciphering what constitutes a year-end list of this magnitude.

However, we’ve conjured a collection that brings together archival releases that not only added to the catalogs of these artists, but enhanced them as well, whether it’s amending a masterpiece with bonus particulars, reimagining an existing LP or delighting fans with never-before-heard material from a mythical vault. And whether we’re talking about a mammoth 17-CD compendium or a single straight reissue, each of these picks do a sublime job in forwarding the legacy of its subject matter in new and exciting ways.

Adam Sandler wished fans a merry Christmas with a happy new Happy Gilmore 2 teaser, which features a snippet of Travis Kelce‘s cameo in the highly anticipated sequel.

In a 45-second video posted on Christmas Day, the comedian finally reprises his role as golf prodigy Happy Gilmore — nearly 30 years after the original film premiered in 1996 — while the Kansas City Chiefs tight end originates his own role in the franchise. The clip opens with Happy joyously stepping back onto the green and taking swings as fans cheer him on, after which Kelce — his hair slicked back and his mustache well-trimmed — greets him inside what appears to be a private club.

“It’s great to see you back, Mr. Gilmore,” the football player says with a smile, dressed in uniform in a black tie and red vest, as Happy looks on.

As seen in flashes throughout the rest of the teaser, Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald will also reprise their Happy Gilmore roles. The sequel does not yet have an exact release date, but will premiere on Netflix at some point in 2025.

“Happy Chanukah! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!” Sandler wrote, sharing the clip on Instagram. “And Happy Gilmore to all!!!!!!”

Fans have been waiting to see Kelce join the world of Happy Gilmore since August, when the Grown Ups actor first revealed that the NFL star would be joining the second film’s cast. Shortly afterward, Sandler joined Kelce on the latter’s New Heights podcast to discuss the project, gushing, “The scene [Travis is] doing is with so many great golfers. It’s gonna be amazing. You’re gonna be funny as hell.”

The three-time Super Bowl champion has taken on a number of onscreen projects in 2024, including a leading role in Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie series on FX. He also kicked off his first season as host of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spinoff of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader.

M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” is the latest No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart, rising 2-1 on the Dec. 28-dated survey.

The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity from Dec. 16 to 22. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.

“Paper Planes” reigns 16 years after the song’s original run, when it peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 2008.

Its rise in December 2024 is linked to a dance trend, while Diplo (one of the song’s producers/writers) weighed in last week with an upload noting the tune’s revitalization.

“Paper Planes” concurrently boasts 4.4 million official U.S. streams in the week ending Dec. 19, up 19%, according to Luminate. It lifts 10-9 on Hot Alternative Songs and debuts at No. 20 on Alternative Streaming Songs.

“Paper Planes” reigns over a top five on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 that includes songs that have reached those heights previously, with four of the five even having reached No. 1 at some point. Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” leaps 8-2, while Stepz’s “Rock” rises 5-4 and Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Maps” goes 7-5; all three songs have led the list for at least one week. The fifth, Tyler, the Creator’s “Like Him” (featuring Lola Young), returns to its peak of No. 3.

Two songs enter the top 10, one for the first time. First there’s Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” which zooms 20-7. That’s five spots below its peak so far of No. 2, achieved on the Jan. 6, 2024, chart. The holiday classic concurrently jumps 17% in Billboard-eligible streams to 46.1 million, returning to its No. 3 peak on the Hot 100.

In all, five holiday songs appear on the latest TikTok Billboard Top 50, with the next highest being Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” at No. 18.

The other new top 10 – in this case a newcomer – is Ceechnyaa’s “Peggy,” which leaps 18-9 in its second week on the ranking. The British rapper’s latest single was released on Dec. 5 and has gone viral for its raunchy lyrical content, with some of the top-performing TikTok uploads being reaction videos alongside lip-synch clips.

“Peggy” shoots 63% to 3.1 million streams in the week ending Dec. 19, though the TikTok Billboard Top 50 is the only chart it’s made so far.

See the full TikTok Billboard Top 50 here. You can also tune in each Friday to SiriusXM’s TikTok Radio (channel 4) to hear the premiere of the chart’s top 10 countdown at 3 p.m. ET, with reruns heard throughout the week.

If you were too busy celebrating with loved ones on Christmas Day to catch Beyoncé‘s NFL Halftime Show performance during the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans at NRG Stadium on Wednesday (Dec. 25), fear not: You’ll soon be able to stream it whenever and as often as you’d like.

Netflix announced after the 32-time Grammy winner’s performance that her set, dubbed Beyoncé Bowl, is coming to the streaming service as a standalone special. The set will be available to stream “later this week,” according to the press release; the streamer did not specify a date.

The pop superstar’s 12-plus-minute set — which was produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment and her own Parkwood Entertainment — showcased her most recent album, the country-infused Cowboy Carter, which topped the Billboard 200 for two weeks. The performance featured album collaborators Shaboozey, Post Malone, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer and others, and delivered everything from “16 Carriages” to “Texas Hold ‘Em,” “Levii’s Jeans,” “Jolene” and beyond. The singer’s eldest daughter, 12-year-old Blue Ivy, also joined her on stage as a dancer, as she did on the Renaissance World Tour.

The livestream of the performance from Beyoncé’s hometown of Houston went off without a hitch. Some fans had previously been concerned about the ability to stream the highly anticipated game and performance — with the match beginning with Pentatonix delivering the national anthem — after Netflix users experienced significant streaming issues during the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match, which the platform says was viewed by 108 million live global viewers. Bey herself poked fun at streaming concerns in a teaser that dropped Christmas Eve, with her video seeming to pause as Netflix’s red loading circle spins for a while before she giggles, and the clip resumes with the star giving a knowing wink.

After her set at NRG Stadium, the superstar teased that a project is coming in 2025 via a social media post. In the visual, Bey is astride a majestic white steed as she waves an American flag, before the clip cuts to a black screen with a red message: “1.14.25.” She captioned the post with a simple, “Look at that horse.”

Beyoncé‘s holiday gifts to fans didn’t end with her stunning halftime show performance at the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game on Christmas Day. According to a teaser posted by the superstar shortly after she exited the field, she still has a lot more in store.

In a cinematic clip shared to Bey’s socials Wednesday (Dec. 25), the 32-time Grammy winner straddles a white stallion while swinging a large American flag in slow motion over her head, her long blonde hair blowing in the wind as a Western trumpet theme plays over the beat of an offscreen stampede of stomping hooves. As she stares into the camera, the video suddenly cuts to a message reading, “1.14.25.”

The clip didn’t reveal any further information as to what Bey is hinting at, nor did her caption. “Look at that horse,” she simply wrote.

Even so, fans are freaking out over what the teaser could mean, with many of them convinced that the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer is gearing up to embark on a tour in 2025. Those theories only intensified after Live Nation — one of the world’s biggest touring companies, which backed Bey’s most recent trek, the Renaissance World Tour — reposted the musician’s teasers on its own socials.

“THE COWBOY CARTER WORLD TOUR IS COMING?!?!?!?!?!?” one person commented under Bey’s video on X, while another fan wrote, “LIVE NATION POSTED IT IT’S LITERALLY A TOUR OMFG😭😭😭😭”

Other fans, however, aren’t sure one way or another. “TOUR? ACT III? VISUALS? I NEED ANSWERS NOW,” tweeted one anxious Beyhiver, suggesting that Jan. 14, 2025, could just as well yield a new album announcement or news about Bey’s unreleased visuals for Renaissance, Cowboy Carter or both.

Billboard has reached out to reps for Beyoncé and Live Nation for comment.

The Ivy Park founder’s teaser comes just after she performed at NRG Stadium in her home city of Houston, giving multiple songs from her Billboard 200-topping album Cowboy Carter their long-awaited live debuts a full nine months after she dropped the album in March. Shaboozey, Post Malone, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts all joined her on the field to help sing their respective collaborations from the LP — including “Sweet Honey Buckiin,’” “Levii’s Jeans” and “Blackbiird” — as did Bey’s oldest daughter, Blue Ivy, for a few dance numbers.

Bey hasn’t toured since her run in support of 2022’s Renaissance wrapped up in the fall of 2023. The five-month trek grossed $579.8 million and sold 2.8 million tickets, closing the year as Billboard Boxscore’s top-grossing tour.

Following a tantalizing single release “El CLúB” earlier this month, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny has announced an exciting lineup of 17 “Bomba” tracks — roughly meaning “explosive hit songs” — on Christmas Day (Dec. 25) via X. This reveal has left fans buzzing on social media with anticipation, further fueling speculation about a forthcoming album.

The Puerto Rican superstar has a track record of delivering — or announcing — his music on unconventional dates (e.g., X100Pre on Christmas; YHLQMDLG on leap day; Las Que No Iban A Salir on Mother’s Day; El Último Tour del Mundo on Thanksgiving), turning album drops into celebrations.

His latest single — co-produced by MAG, Saox and La Paciencia — features ethereal-like guitar tones in the style of plena, an Afro-Caribbean style from Puerto Rico that blends electronic elements, via Rimas Entertainment. According to the press release, the song encapsulates “the longing for a life chapter that still holds a special place in memory.” 

“El CLúB” debuted at No. 2 on Hot Latin Songs, No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 39 on Billboard Global 200, among other chart achievements. Benito’s longtime producer, Tainy, is also anticipated to be involved in the album production.

The upcoming 17-track release will follow 2023’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. Bad Bunny recently collaborated with Argentine soccer legend Lionel Messi to release a new collection of Adidas. “We hope to create a legacy that reflects this unique collaboration, inspiring new generations to follow their passions and work hard to achieve their dreams,” Bunny told Billboard about the collab at the time. “We want this collaboration to become a symbol of unity for our Latino community and for the future.”
