About the song

There’s something about Scotty McCreery’s voice that just feels like home. Deep, warm, and brimming with sincerity, his signature baritone has a way of wrapping around a song like a well-worn winter coat. In “Feel Like The Holidays,” McCreery once again taps into that effortless charm, delivering a holiday tune that isn’t just about snowflakes and Christmas lights—it’s about the feeling of the season itself.

Unlike the grand, orchestral holiday ballads that flood the airwaves every December, “Feel Like The Holidays” leans into a more personal, country-infused sound. The instrumentation is rich yet restrained, featuring gentle acoustic guitars, a steady drumbeat, and just the right amount of seasonal sparkle with sleigh bells and subtle piano flourishes. It’s a song that doesn’t try to overwhelm with excess festivity but instead settles into a warm, nostalgic groove.

Lyrically, the song captures the essence of holiday magic not through grandiose statements but through small, familiar moments. McCreery sings about the way love and togetherness can turn any ordinary day into something special, making it truly “Feel Like The Holidays.” It’s a theme that resonates deeply, especially for those who find the season’s joy in shared experiences rather than extravagant celebrations. His delivery is as earnest as ever, with that slight Southern drawl adding an extra layer of warmth to each line.

What makes “Feel Like The Holidays” stand out is its ability to balance sentimentality with sincerity. There’s no forced festivity here—just the quiet joy of being with the people who matter most. It’s the kind of song that feels right at home playing softly in the background as you decorate the tree, sip hot cocoa, or simply sit by the fire with loved ones. In true Scotty McCreery fashion, it’s not just a holiday song; it’s a heartfelt reminder of what makes the season special.

Lyrics

They’re hanging up tinsel in the windows on Michigan Avenue
And ice is freezing on the rink at Rockefeller Center, too
Lights going up on the palm trees down on A1A
It’s starting to feel
It’s starting to feel like The Holidays

Snow is falling and crawling down from that old North Pole
And jingle bells are ringing from Rome to Rio de Janeiro
Old Man Winter says, “Here comes December!” and I can’t wait
It’s starting to feel
It’s starting to feel like The Holidays

And I love this time of year
I love when it gets here, my dear
We’re getting closer just around the corner
It’s just around the corner
I think I’ll hang up the mistletoe if that’s okay
It’s starting to feel
It’s starting to feel like The Holidays

Yes, it is
Oh, can’t yo feel it?

And I love this time of year
I love when it gets here, my dear
We’re getting closer
It’s just around the corner
Yeah, it’s just around the corner

It’s here at last
So let’s raise a glass
And celebrate
It’s starting to feel
It’s starting to feel like The Holidays

Oh, yes, it is
It’s getting real
(It’s getting real)
It’s starting to feel
Feel like The Holidays

(Feels like The Holidays)
Feel like The Holidays

(Feels like The Holidays)
Feel like The Holidays

(Feels like The Holidays)
Feel like The Holidays
