Blake Shelton is ready to spread some holiday cheer.
The award-winning country artist is “in the super deluxe spirit this year, y'all!!!” He announced on his social media channels on Thursday (November 3) that the extended version of his Christmas album is set to release this month. Cheers, it’s Christmas (Super Deluxe) is set to release with three new tracks next Friday, November 11.
Shelton’s announcement comes one day after he teased his social media followers by posting a photo that appeared to be taken in a studio, decked in festive lights with a wreath hanging up on the wall. “I guess it's about that time of year again…” Shelton hinted in his caption, prompting fans to start buzzing with questions and seeking more information as they hoped for new Christmas music from the country hitmaker (some even suggested a Christmas movie or an album with his wife, fellow Voice coach and superstar Gwen Stefani).
Cheers, it’s Christmas released 10 years ago, in 2012. The collection included many must-listen holiday songs — including “Jingle Bell Rock,” “White Christmas,” “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!,” “Winter Wonderland” and more — as well as some star-studded collaborations. Shelton teamed up with fellow Oklahoma-born artist Reba McEntire on the track “Oklahoma Christmas,” and featured Kelly Clarkson, Michael Bublé, Xenia and others on the album.
