In 2018, 27 celebrities gathered at Metropolis Studios to record an original Christmas song called "Rock with Rudolph", written and produced by Grahame and Jack Corbyn. The song was in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital. It was released digitally through independent record label Saga Entertainment on 30 November 2018. The music video debuted exclusively with The Sun on 29 November 2018 and had its first TV showing on Good Morning Britain on 30 November 2018. [2][3][4]

In 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Celebs reunited with new members including Frank Bruno and X Factor winner Sam Bailey to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society and Action for Children. They recorded a new rendition of "Merry Christmas Everyone" by Shakin' Stevens and it was released digitally on 11 December 2020 by independent record label Saga Entertainment. The music video debuted on Good Morning Britain the day before the song's release. [5][6][7][8][9]
