Content


Included on the album is a rendition of Michael Bublé's "Home", done here as a duet with the original artist and featuring Christmas-themed lyrics written by Bublé at Shelton's request. Other collaborators on the album include Shelton's former wife, Miranda Lambert; the supergroup Pistol Annies, which is composed of Lambert, Ashley Monroe, and Angaleena Presley; Shelton's mother, Dorothy Shackleford; Trypta-Phunk, a funk side project founded by Shelton's touring band;[4] Kelly Clarkson; Reba McEntire; and Xenia, who placed fifth on the first season of The Voice, a televised singing competition on which Shelton is a judge.

The Hallmark Channel holiday film, "Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas," which premiered on December 15, 2018 starring Josh Henderson and Megan Park, was inspired by the track Shelton wrote with his mother.[5][6]

The album was re-released in 2017 with new artwork and three additional tracks: "Savior's Shadow" (from the 2016 album If I'm Honest), "Two Step ’Round the Christmas Tree" and "Christmas Eve" (a version of Gwen Stefani's Christmas Eve).[7][8]
