Cornett, who plays EJ in the hit Disney+ series, allows his rich, velvet vocals to shine on “Last Christmas.” It will certainly put fans and listeners in the holiday spirit. It is a neat interpretation of the Wham! classic. Well done.

“Last Christmas” is featured in High School Musical: The Musical: The Holiday Special (Original Soundtrack), which is available on Apple Music and on Spotify.

The first season of High School Musical: The Series on Disney+ earned a glowing review from Digital Journal.
