Blake Shelton Wants To ‘Stop Drinking Altogether’

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Blake Shelton revealed that there is one New Year’s Resolution he can’t seem to achieve, but he keeps trying.

He told ET, “I haven’t managed to stop drinking yet. Even cutting back has been hard. I mean, it’s a resolution, though. That’s my New Year’s resolution. To either cut back or stop drinking altogether. Let’s just say I said it.”

Shelton also revealed that he and his wife Gwen Stefani’s plans will be pretty low-key. He said, “If we’re at home during New Year’s Eve, we’re probably going to bed before it even happens.”

Turns out that Blake does have plans this year on New Year’s Eve as he is set to play New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, set to air New Year’s Eve on CBS.

Shelton and Stefani sure do love Christmas. Gwen shared a sweet video collage of the family getting ready for the holiday on Instagram.

In the video, you can see Gwen get out her porcelain Christmas townhouses, complete with small trees, a cobblestone walkway, and a cotton bed to act as snow in the lighted village on a table in their home. The video also shows Stefani, Blake, and her boys picking out a Christmas tree at a California tree lot. At one point, after they get the tree and put it in the pickup truck, Blake shouts, “Merry Christmas.” Then, the clip shows Shelton and one of the boys bringing the tree into their home.

The music soundtracking the video is the couple’s duet holiday song “You Make It Feel Like Christmas.” The song is the title cut from Stefani’s 2017 Christmas album.

She captioned the video, “Feels like Christmas at the Shelton home!!”

Many fans reacted to the video, including one fan who wrote, “Gwen is living the cozy life! with one handsome “woobie” #teamworkmakesthedreamwork. Another fan said, “I think u are so adorable. Merry Christmas.” One more fan commented on the accompanying music, “My fav Christmas song next to Mariah.”

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.
