Gwen Stefani says the holiday season feels extra special when she’s sharing it with her husband, Blake Shelton.
During a recent appearance on Today, the singer opened up about how the couple spends their Christmas season, revealing that they’re always on the move between Oklahoma and California.
“Blake and I are constantly bouncing back and forth,” Gwen shared. “We’ll head to Oklahoma for a bit and then come back to L.A. It’s kind of our rhythm now.”
A Holiday Split Between Two Homes
The couple, who divide their time between Blake’s ranch in Oklahoma and their life in Los Angeles, embraced Thanksgiving in a big way this year — celebrating not once, but twice.
“We’ve already done Thanksgiving, and we did two of them,” Gwen said with a smile. “It’s such a blessing to be able to do that. Oklahoma is so beautiful this time of year. I really love it.”
Gwen is also soaking in family time with her children — Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo — whom she shares with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, while Blake enjoys stepping into the role of devoted stepdad.
Christmas Music Close to Their Hearts
It’s no surprise the holidays mean so much to the couple. Their love for the season inspired their popular 2017 duet, “You Make It Feel Like Christmas.”
“Blake sent me a voice note of him playing the song on his guitar,” Gwen once shared. “When we finished it, we just knew it had to be a duet.”
Gwen has long felt a deep connection to holiday music.
“Christmas has always felt magical to me,” she said. “The idea that your song can become part of people’s family traditions is such a gift. Christmas music really does live forever.”
New Holiday Songs for 2025
This year, Gwen leaned fully into the festive spirit by releasing two new tracks, “Hot Cocoa” and “Shake the Snow Globe.” She even performed at the 2025 Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting Ceremony, bringing her joyful new music to a massive audience.
The inspiration for Shake the Snow Globe came from wanting something playful and fresh.
“I don’t hear many songs about snow globes,” Gwen explained. “So I thought, why not create my own ‘snow globe moment’?”
She also shared why holiday music feels different from any other genre.
“You only hear these songs once a year, so they hit differently,” she said. “They’re nostalgic. You miss them, and that makes them feel even more special.
A Love Story Still Going Strong
As Christmas approaches, Gwen and Blake’s love story continues to charm fans.
From supporting each other through painful divorces to building a blended family and creating music together, their relationship has grown into something deeply meaningful.
Over the years, they’ve described each other as a miracle, a second chance at life, and a love they never thought they’d find again.
And this Christmas, they’re doing what they love most — sharing music, family, and time together, bouncing happily between Oklahoma and California.
