The song "This X-Mas" by Chris Brown is a festive celebration of love during the holiday season. The singer, who is presumably in a romantic relationship with "Santa baby" (possibly Chris Brown himself), expresses their desire to spend time with their loved one during Christmas. Despite being a little naughty in the past, the singer wants to make up for it by baking cookies for their significant other, taking selfies with them, and showing them off to the world. The song's catchy chorus emphasizes that this Christmas will be the first time the singer tells their partner that they are in love with them, making it a special and unforgettable holiday.
The lyrics also depict the traditional Christmas celebrations, such as waiting for reindeer, sitting under the mistletoe, and lighting the tree. The singer's love has made the festivities even more meaningful, and they want to share that feeling with their partner. However, the singer acknowledges that they have trust issues, possibly hinting at past relationship baggage. Despite this, the singer hopes that Santa baby can make time for them and make this Christmas the greatest time of their life.
Overall, "This X-Mas" is a fun, upbeat Christmas song that celebrates love and the holiday season. It's a reminder to cherish the people you love and create special moments with them during this special time of year.

I can't believe this song didn't blow up. I hope they film a music video for this and put it out around the holiday season so this song can get more recognition.
MahjikM3
There is an Ella Mai only version out in the wild as well. IMO, it's much better than the collabo version (and I'm a Breezy fan).
