Songfacts®:

  • Here, Scotty McCreery is heralding the holiday season with an excitement that shouts, "It's Christmas time, folks!" McCreery paints a festive picture of Christmas around the USA, talking tinsel on Michigan Avenue, icy magic at Rockefeller Center, and palm trees dressed up in Miami's A1A Avenue lights.
  • Scotty McCreery's producer Frank Rogers wrote this warm, jazzy song with Bobby Hamrick, Jeremy Bussey, Monty Criswell, and Derek George. "Feel Like the Holidays" isn't your run-of-the-mill Christmas tune; it spices up the scene by blending classic Yuletide sounds like horns, strings, and bells with pedal steel, all harmonizing with McCreery's unmistakable baritone.

    "Christmas is my favorite time of year and I sing Christmas songs every day," said McCreery. "When I first heard 'Feel Like the Holidays,' I knew I wanted to record the song. It has that timeless, classic Christmas music vibe and is so much fun."

    "It feels like something that Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole or Michael Bublé would sing. I'm looking forward to performing it this holiday season," he added.
  • "Feel Like the Holidays" is the country star's first festive release since 2012's Christmas With Scotty McCreery. That album includes two original songs: "Christmas In Heaven" and "Christmas Comin' Round Again."
