Imagine two characters, initially from rival factions – a Daywalker who wields solar flares and a Vampire harnessing night winds – putting aside their ancient differences to conjure something truly magical: a festive snowfall for a holiday song.

The "Snow Angels" music video, which premiered exclusively on Billboard Family, showcases Nova and Victor embracing the holiday spirit. The visuals depict them lying in fresh snow, creating the classic head-to-head snow angels. But this isn't just any ordinary snow day; they actually harness their characters' powers from ZOMBIES 4 – Nova's signature solar flares and Victor's night winds – to conjure a lively flurry of snow around them. It's a clever nod to their origins while celebrating a new, unified festive theme.

The lyrics themselves capture this heartwarming togetherness. Skye kicks off the song with the sweet lines, "Oh the choir sings and the bells all chime/ When your sno-oh-ow angel’s next to mine." Later, they harmonize, affirming, "I’d brave any weather ‘cause nothing is better than being together again." This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the holiday spirit of unity and friendship, making it a fitting addition to any festive playlist.

"Oh the choir sings and the bells all chime / When your snow angel is next to mine / Oh, the fire glows and the lights all shine / When your snow angel is next to mine."

The Undeniable Chart Dominance and Streaming Success of the ZOMBIES Franchise

The enthusiasm for "Snow Angels" isn't a standalone event; it rides the massive wave of success generated by ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires itself. The film’s soundtrack made a huge splash, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Kid Albums chart, dated July 26. But its reach extended far beyond just the kid-focused charts.

The soundtrack also impressively bowed at No. 3 on the Soundtracks chart, No. 16 on Independent Albums, and even cracked the top 100 on the all-genre Billboard 200 at No. 90.

This multifaceted chart performance underscores the broad appeal and significant musical impact of the franchise.

And it's not just music charts where ZOMBIES 4 shines. The film quickly became one of Disney+’s most popular franchises, racking up an astonishing 9.3 million views globally within its first 10 days on the platform. Source: [Disney+ Press, "‘ZOMBIES 4’ Stars Malachi Barton And Freya Skye Bring Winter Vibes With Festive New Music Video ‘Snow Angels,’ Available Now On Disney+", November 14, 2025]. This level of engagement speaks volumes about the dedicated fanbase and the continued popularity of the ZOMBIES universe.

A Legacy of Musical Achievements and Character Development

The success of the ZOMBIES 4 soundtrack is really just the latest chapter in a consistent story of chart-topping achievements for the franchise. The very first ZOMBIES soundtrack, released way back in 2018, spent a remarkable 10 weeks at the top of Billboard’s Kid Albums chart. Then came ZOMBIES 2 in 2020, which peaked at No. 2, and ZOMBIES 3 in 2022, which held the No. 1 spot for two weeks. Source: [Billboard, "‘ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires’ Sinks Its Teeth Into Billboard Charts With No. 1 Kid Albums Debut", November 14, 2025]. This consistent performance highlights how deeply fans connect with the music as much as the stories.

Some might view "Snow Angels" as simply a promotional tie-in, a seasonal song leveraging the ZOMBIES 4 hype rather than a standalone musical achievement. However, while it certainly capitalizes on the movie's popularity, the song and video stand on their own as a charming holiday piece. It extends the beloved characters into a new, festive narrative, offering fans a fresh way to engage with Nova and Victor outside the main film plot. Holiday music, after all, consistently finds an audience, whether tied to a franchise or not.

It's also worth noting that the success of ZOMBIES 4 and its soundtrack, while dominant in its niche, primarily reflects a dedicated younger audience. Some might suggest this makes its chart performance less impactful than an all-genre hit. Yet, while the Kid Albums chart is specific, reaching No. 1 there, along with significant positions on the Soundtracks and Independent Albums charts, demonstrates massive influence within its demographic. And its impressive debut at No. 90 on the all-genre Billboard 200 proves it resonated beyond just its core fanbase. The 9.3 million global views on Disney+ in 10 days is a major achievement by any standard, showing wide reach and impact.

Beyond the Screen: Freya Skye and Malachi Barton's Continued Journey

Freya Skye and Malachi Barton's involvement with the ZOMBIES franchise goes beyond just their on-screen roles. Both were integral parts of the massively successful Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour, where they performed a number of songs from the ZOMBIES series. Skye even showcased her solo talent on the tour, performing one of her own songs, "Gold's Gone."

Skye, in particular, has had quite a busy year, quickly selling out her first-ever acoustic solo shows. Beyond her role in ZOMBIES 4, she also made an appearance in an episode of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, taking on the role of Piper, an oracle who paints the future. These projects illustrate their growing careers and their dedication to entertaining audiences in various capacities.

For example, imagine a typical Friday evening in December. A family is winding down for the night, maybe some holiday decorations are up. The youngest, a ten-year-old Lily, is glued to Disney+, and suddenly "Snow Angels" pops up on screen. Her older brother, Mark, 16, initially rolls his eyes, muttering about "kid stuff." But as the catchy melody fills the room and he sees Nova and Victor playfully conjuring snow, he can't help but tap his foot. Soon, even their parents are smiling, drawn in by the infectious festive cheer. This song, much like the characters it features, has a way of bridging divides and creating shared, joyful moments.
