Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Bake Gingerbread Cookies At Home

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

After the final for NBC’s The Voice aired this week, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are now officially on Christmas break. They celebrated their time off by making gingerbread cookies at home with their boys. 

Gwen posted several video clips of the cookie-making on her Instagram. The video starts off with Stefani in a blue hoodie that boasts her hometown of Anaheim, California, from her kitchen, explaining that she and Blake have a song together called “You Make It Feel Like Christmas.” She says, “In the song, we talk about sweet gingerbread, and I am about to make some, so I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.” The video shows all the cooking supplies and her getting started with the mixer. Then it shows a clip of Shelton holding a ball of dough and wearing a Hawaiian shirt. He says, “This is made with molasses, sweet.” When she pulls the cookies out of the oven, she brings them over to Blake, sitting in the living room next to a Christmas tree on his phone; he takes one. Then the couple shares a sweet kiss. Another clip shows Shelton giving a cookie to the family dog as the kids look on, and Gwen laughs. 

She captioned the video, “Sweet gingerbread !! (cooking emojis) had such a fun baking wknd with @blakeshelton + the fam (Christmas Tree emoji).” 

Fans loved the look into the couple’s Christmas fun at home, with one gushing, “I want some!” Another fan writes, “Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous couple. Happy Christmas from Ireland.” One more fan commented, “Wow, That’s Awesome Merry Christmas. To You And Blake Shelton, Happy Holidays.”

Shelton recently appeared on Jennifer Hudson’s new talk show. He was there to talk about the holidays and The Voice, but he ended up talking about Gwen Stefani, specifically, how they spend the holidays together. 

Top Five Country Christmas Songs Of All Time

  • 5. Carrie Underwood - "Little Drummer Boy"

    With a cameo by her young son Isaiah singing adorably on this classic remake, it is no wonder this has quickly become a holiday favorite and makes his famous mom proud.

    Underwood is playing shows and has added Christmas song to her Las Vegas residency which she wraps up next week (12/16).

    Carrie told us recently about decorating early for Christmas this year (2023), “There’s nothing sadder than a Christmas tree up with no presents underneath it, so I don’t really think that you want to get your Christmas tree up too early, but this year, I was a little earlier than normal because we had Thanksgiving and then head out to Vegas for my Reflection shows, and I had to get everything up before I left.”

  • 4. Gwen Stefani (Featuring Blake Shelton) - "You Make It Feel Like Christmas"

    A wonderful song that puts you right into the holiday spirit. Gwen and Blake do this song beautifully together and seem to have fun with every word they sing.

    On the footnote version of the title song’s music video, Stefani said, “The idea of getting to be a part of people’s holidays through music is one of the greatest gifts. Christmas music lives forever.”

    She also noted in the video footnotes that the video idea was inspired by the 1960s TV show Bewitched, a show both of them loved as kids. Gwen and Blake co-wrote the song “You Make It Feel Like Christmas.”

  • 3. Brad Paisley - "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy"

    This is an excellent take on the 1960s original Christmas song by country music icon Buck Owens. Brad does this to perfection honoring his late friend. Garth Brooks also covered this song on his first Christmas album, Beyond The Season.

  • 2. Dolly Parton - "Hard Candy Christmas"

    Not initially known as or written as a Christmas song, this song comes from the soundtrack of Dolly Parton’s 1982 movie Best Little Whorehouse In Texas. The song has become a classic and has been covered by many after Dolly, including her friend Reba.

  • 1. Brenda Lee - "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"

    Possibly one of the best holiday songs in any genre; not a year goes by that we don’t spin this record on repeat. In 2023, sixty-five years after its first release to radio, the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time ever.

    By hitting the No.1 spot, Brenda Lee breaks several records. Many of those records were held by Mariah Carey and “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which Lee beat out for the top spot.
