Sa tuwing darating ang ber months tatak na sa kaisipan ng mga pinoy ang mga kantang sikat ni Jose Mari Chan na - A Perfect Christmas, Christmas Carol at marami pa. Kaya binansagan siyang " Mr. Christmas" dito sa Pilipinas at nagiging christmas icon na siya sa tuwing sasapit na ang ber months.
Pero ayon kay Jose ayaw niyang tawagin siya ng ganoon dahil nag-iisa lang daw ang tunay na Mr. Christmas. Mas gugustuhin pa daw niyang tawagin siyang The Little Drummer Boy.
"I’m flattered, but I don’t want them to call me Mr. Christmas because there’s only one king of Christmas—that’s Baby Jesus.
"Let me be called the Little Drummer Boy that heralds the season, Christmas is coming,”
Ayaw din niyang maging isang christmas icon dahil mas gusto niyang isulong ang mga orihinal na kantang pinoy.
"It’s a wonderful blessing, but I would like to share that with others. I will not live forever, but I would like OPM to get stronger and live forever, sincerely."
Wala na daw rin siyang planong gumawa pa ng panibagong christmas album.
"This is probably the second and my last Christmas album because what else can you say about Christmas? I’ve said it all and so it will just be repetitive, redundant.
"I learned or I discovered that every Christmas, 'Christmas in Our Hearts,' 'A Perfect Christmas,' all the songs come alive again.
"Then I realized that the genre of Christmas music is universal and generic. It doesn’t change.
"Some things don’t change and one of them is Christmas music.”
