“You Make It Feel Like Christmas” – Gwen Stefani feat. Blake Shelton

There are some people you just don’t expect to release a holiday album. Sia was one of them, but her album was a pleasant surprise, and I for one will be jamming to it for years to come. Another artist who surprised us all when she released a Christmas album was Gwen Stefani.

Stefani released the album You Make It Feel Like Christmas in 2017, featuring a mix of original and classic tracks. The album has a vintage feel to it, because you couldn’t expect Gwen Stefani to put out just your average holiday album. The album’s title track, featuring her beau Blake Shelton, is a sugary sweet, country-tinged love song that has the two singers serenading each other. Whether or not you like country music or Blake Shelton, you can’t help but smile at how adorable the single is.

The song is infectious and will no doubt get a lot of airplay on your playlist this holiday season. Gwen Stefani has come a long way from her grungy ska days back with No Doubt, but this high-glamour, vintage Christmas aesthetic that she’s rocking on “You Make It Feel Like Christmas” feels so authentically Gwen. You will want to play this song when you’re making gingerbread cookies with your best guy, or best gal, or when you’re just having a cozy, festive night in with friends and family.
