Fons & the Chargers slide into the holiday season with a track that feels straight out of a classic Christmas film, warm, charming, and glowing with that old-school magic. “The Last Little Christmas Tree” is the kind of song that hits you right in that soft spot where nostalgia and childhood memories sit, but it’s also fresh enough to feel like a new December favorite.
Written by Fons Slieker for his newborn son Guus, the song carries that unmistakable parent-to-child sincerity, but in the chillest, most effortless way. It doesn’t lean into over-the-top sentimentality; it just tells a simple, relatable story that lands because it’s honest. At its core, the track is about a tree no one wanted because of its broken branch… until a kid looks at it and says, “that one.” Suddenly, the flawed tree becomes the hero of Christmas night. And honestly? That’s peak wholesome energy.

Think classic Christmas soundtrack, but created by someone who clearly gets both the history and the vibe. You can absolutely hear the influences without it feeling copy-paste. The chorus is sticky in a good way, the melody is bright without being cheesy, and the storytelling carries the whole track with confidence.
The lyrics are straight-up adorable in their imagery. A lopsided tree left behind on a cold lot… a kid insisting “the bent down branch is what I’m looking for”… Santa himself busting a smile at the crooked little hero in the window. It’s cinematic, but also real , the kind of story every family could see themselves in. And it ties perfectly into Fons’ bigger message about giving love to imperfect things and imperfect people, especially the tiny humans we raise.
