We’re barely into the middle of November and already the season has been filled with a plethora of new Christmas musical arrivals! So many performers are either releasing their first-ever holiday albums, returning with a follow-up, or sharing a Christmas song or two that they recently recorded to help fill an otherwise anxious season with some extra cheer.

I’ve compiled a list of some new festive songs, which I anticipate to be updating throughout the season. All songs listed are available to stream or buy on Apple Music, Amazon Music and Spotify.

Enjoy!

There’s nothing like some magical Disney Christmas news to start your day!

Chatter sparked on Twitter earlier this month when Jordan Fisher (“Dancing with the Stars Juniors”) and Sarah Hyland (“Modern Family”) both tweeted about hosting the annual Christmas celebrations for Disney this holiday season, and now the 411 on each of the event has been released–and I have it all here for you!

ABC and Disney Channel will take over the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ with star-studded TV specials as Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line transform into festive winter wonderlands to bring the magic of Disney straight into your living rooms this season.  Celebrations are set to air on the ABC Network and Disney Channel on two different nights before ABC airs the magical parade on Christmas morning, a treasured tradition in homes across the nation.

Gwen Stefani simple dazzled during her holiday special, “Gwen Stefani’s You Make It Feel Like Christmas”, which aired last night on NBC.

The singer performed songs from her first holiday album, “You Make It Feel Like Christmas” and was joined by celebrity friends (including, Chelsea Handler and Ken Jeong!) for a few skits in-between.

Gwen’s wardrobe styling team Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn dressed her in an array of glamorous looks–from the fun sparkling candy cane romper (complete with a Christmas bow in her hair!), a glittering Mrs. Claus look and a toy soldier costume–to glorious gowns like a lace red tiered design, a shimmering white tea-length number and a fairy tale tulle gown that she wore for a duet with Ne-Yo!

Check out pictures from the special below to see some of Gwen’s (and her friends) festive picks—and to watch a title-track performance of her duet with beau, Blake Shelton.
