We are proud to hold this responsibility and look forward to sharing our unbelievable designs, larger-than-life character balloons and first-class entertainment, all sure to create lifelong memories for Parade fans nationwide.”
“Tangled In Tinsel”
Decker’s “Tangled In Tinsel” is an original track co-written by the singer/songwriter/entrepreneur alongside Shane Stevens and Agee. It appears on her recently released holiday EP, Decker The Halls, which arrived on November 3, 2023. The six-track project was produced by Dan Agree and features a slew of very special guests: members of Decker’s family.
Her children, Vivianne Decker, Eric Decker II, and Forest Decker, join her on “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” while her mother, Karen Parker, sister, Sydney Bass, and sister-in-law, Ali James lend their voices to “Away In A Manger.”
“It was so important for me to capture that classic holiday sound I grew up with,” Decker shared on social media when the EP was released. “I hope you love the new originals and some of my all time favorites on here!!”
The new project follows Decker’s previous holiday releases, This Christmas EP [2015] and On This Holiday [2018].
Decker has been quite busy in recent weeks. In addition to releasing her holiday project, she also debuted her second cookbook, Just Eat. This new release includes over 100 recipes that were inspired by her family, her world travels, and her home garden. It’s the follow-up to Just Feed Me.
On the heels of the release of Just Eat, Decker appeared on Good Morning America, Live with Kelly and Mark, and went on a book tour.
Pregnant With Fourth Child
Additionally, she’s expecting her fourth child with her husband, Eric Decker. The Kittenish owner shocked fans when she revealed her pregnancy on social media in August.
“It was not planned,” she revealed with fans during an Instagram Q&A session on August 27. “We were very, very surprised.”
The couple resides outside of Nashville, Tenn. with their family.
