The Nottinghamshire couple first topped The chart in 2018 with We Built This City, a cover of Starship's 1985 hit; followed by 2019's I Love Sausage Rolls, their take on The Arrows/Joan Jett's I Love Rock 'n' Roll; and 2020's Don't Stop Me Eatin', a cheeky version of Journey's power ballad Don't Stop Believin'.
They are currently tied with The Beatles as The Act with The Most festive chart-toppers overall - But The Fab Four only managed three consecutive years at The Top , with their run broken by Tom Jones ' Green, Green Grass of Home in 1966.
" We never intended to release a fifth Christmas single But as ambassadors of The Trussell Trust we were not prepared to sit back and do nothing in a year when people are struggling More Than ever, " Mark and Roxanne said in a statement.
" So, a few months ago we approached Bob Geldof and Midge Ure and The Band Aid Trust to ask permission to rework The Most iconic Christmas track of all time, Do They Know it's Christmas. And we were truly honoured when they said yes! "
The single is available for pre-order now and will be released on 16 December, with hopes of topping The Christmas countdown The Following Friday.
It will face competition from perennial favourites like Mariah Carey 's All I Want For Christmas Is You and Wham's Last Christmas , But bookmakers have already made LadBaby The favourites.
Lewis said he was amazed to have been approached for help.
" I thought they'd confused me with Someone Else , " He Said . " The nearest I've ever got to thinking about a Christmas Number One is going to The loo on Boxing Day after too much Orange Juice The Day before.
" Yet once I knew they were serious, and it was for The Trussell Trust, a hugely important charity I've a history with, I decided to give it a go, and do it with gusto. "
The Charity says The cost of living crisis has placed increased pressure on food banks around The UK.
More emergency food parcels were given out between April and September than ever before - 1. 3 million in total, an increase of 52% compared with The same period in 2019.
One in five people referred to The Charity 's food banks are in working households, it added.
