We’ll get to the preview but maybe you’d like a little tidbit on the recording of the song first?

When Team Hudgens visited Vanessa in Vancouver, one of the things we talked about is her participation of this year’s “A Very Special Christmas” album.

Needless to say, she is very excited to be part of this special project that benefits the Special Olympics organization.

She told us that she recorded “Winter Wonderland” the weekend she went home to Los Angeles for the Neutrogena event (editor’s note: it turns out she recorded it right after the event actually). Vanessa’s version of the Christmas classic has a “jazzy feel” – she even recorded it with a live jazz band…

So here it is, fast forward to 1:52, if you’re impatient

The album is available in stores November 24, 2009. So don’t forget to pick up your own copy (or download it in ITunes).

How cute does Vanessa look in her Santa hat?
