"What do I want for Christmas?" Well, according to Luann de Lesseps, a new Christmas song just in time for the holiday season is exactly what you need.

The "Real Housewives of New York" star dropped her latest single on November 12, and it is everything.
Luann took to Instagram to announce the release of her new track. She is also trying to spread some holiday cheer. In her caption, she wrote, "Thank you fabulous #RHONY girls & lovely ladies of the @fortunesociety for being part of this very special, original new #Christmas song." She then confirmed, "Song proceeds to benefit @FortuneSociety."
The performer's latest offering is part of her new cabaret show, "A Very Countess Christmas," per People. Luann appeared on the "Chicks in the Office" podcast and dished that "'What do I want for Christmas' was a fun, catchy song" that was "light and cheerful." In the video, her fellow "RHONY" stars Ramona Singer, Leah McSweeney, Sonja Morgan, and Eboni K. Williams make cameos. Luann teased that she included everybody "so nobody could b***h at her." As for getting back on stage, Luann shared, "I love it, to have the fans there and feel that love. And it's the holidays, so there's so much to celebrate."

Luann's husky voice then sings, "What do I want for Christmas? What is it gonna be? What's gonna magically appear beneath the Christmas tree?" as she gazes into the mirror. Pretty soon, the "Real Housewives of New York" star is crooning while sitting on piano played by composer and pianist Billy Stritch, per Bravo. Luann is decked out in a sparkly strapless number and a dazzling statement necklace that only she could pull off.
The rest of the "RHONY" cast join her as they sing around the piano and sway their hips in time to the music. Sonja Morgan wore a shimmering wrap-around dress in a shimmering, while Leah McSweeney donned a form-fitting gown in a soft green. Ramona Singer stunned in a plunging gown, and Eboni K. Williams sizzled in a red dress with a split down the side. At one point in the video, the women are gathered around a large spinning globe and singing about "circling the globe until [they] find the perfect man." Fans will likely remember that Leah previously asked Luann if they would be singing on the track, per Bravo. Luann answered, "I haven't even thought about that part yet." But, it seems as if she answered "yes."
