But now that my son is 4, the holiday season means so much more now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Feels Like Christmas<\/em> was officially released on October 24, but with danceable, happy songs like <em>Sugar Cookie<\/em> and <em>Mistletoe Kisses<\/em>, now is definitely a great time to put it in the rotation. However, for those looking for nostalgic songs, it&#8217;s best to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cChristmas is one of those holidays that can be either very cheerful or a reminder of what is lost,\u201d the <em>Make It Me<\/em> singer said. \u201cAnd I didn\u2019t want to do that. I just wanted to bring uplifting messages to people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI just wanted something upbeat,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;You know, 2025 has been a pretty heavy year for a lot of people, and I\u2019m not trying to discount that, but for my mental capacity, I needed something really positive for me. That\u2019s how I\u2019ve been able to cope with so much going on. And so that was my motivation: I just want people to feel light, just to feel good for a minute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The album contains eight songs, including a duet with <strong>Michael Bolton<\/strong> and a cover of the Frozen tune &#8220;Do You Want to Build a Snowman?&#8221; As for Guyton, there are at least two songs that will be on a loop in her home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Definitely &#8216;All I Want for Christmas Is You,&#8217; <strong>Mariah Carey<\/strong>,&#8221; she proclaimed. &#8220;That song is the season every year, forever. That song and &#8220;Rockin\u2019 Around the Christmas Tree,&#8221; <strong>Brenda Lee<\/strong> \u2014 those are the two songs you want to hear every Christmas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story was originally reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\/country-singer-mickey-guyton-reveals-how-shes-been-able-to-cope-amid-a-heavy-year-means-so-much-more-now\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Parade;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Parade<\/a> on Nov 21, 2025, where it first appeared in the <a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">News<\/a> section.
