Move over, Halloween, because Willie Nelson<\/strong> is headed straight for Christmas! The country music outlaw, 92, just released a brand new holiday-themed track called \u201cChristmas Love Song,\u201d and it\u2019s bound to bring folks joy and warmth just in time for the cold winter months.<\/p>\n Released on Friday, October 24, via Sony Music\u2019s Legacy Recordings, this soothing country ballad finds Nelson putting his signature storytelling vocals on display as lyrics capture the spirit of Christmas, and also bring to life the visuals of gift-giving and the love shared between two people.<\/p>\n In the song, Nelson pours his heart out to a romantic partner as he reveals there\u2019s a present wrapped under the tree that\u2019s near and dear to his heart. Without giving it away, fans are left to interpret for themself what neatly gift-wrapped item Nelson is excited to reveal to the one he loves most.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is my Christmas love song to you \/ It ain’t a lot, but every word of it’s true \/ It don’t sparkle or shine, but it’s one of a kind \/ And I put my whole heart into \/ This Christmas love song to you,\u201d Nelson sweetly sings throughout the pleasant sing-along chorus.<\/p>\n Nelson, who has often been affectionately referred to as The Red Headed Stranger, worked alongside producer and longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon<\/strong> to lay down studio vocals for the song. Meanwhile, newly-penned songwriting credits are shared between Country Music Hall of Famer Bill Anderson<\/strong> and tunesmiths Bobby Tomberlin<\/strong> and Marv Green<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Sonically, \u201cChristmas Love Song\u201d keeps it simple, letting Nelson\u2019s vocals take center stage as he strums his guitar Trigger over a delicate melody that features pedal steel, twinkling piano keys, and a traditional country beat by top-flight Nashville musicians. A standout on the track, however, is the contributions of musician Mickey Raphael<\/strong>, who lent his harmonica prowess to various portions of the track.<\/p>\n Nelson\u2019s \u201cChristmas Love Song\u201d has already stolen hearts for the holidays, with fans taking to the comments section of the YouTube video post for the song.<\/p>\n \u201cI love it.. Not a song Willie has ever sung that I don’t love,\u201d one person wrote, while another fan added, \u201cThank you Willie! This is very beautiful, I absolutely love this song.\u201d<\/p>\n A third person added, \u201cBeautiful, just breathtaking. I love it. That\u2019s my favorite time of the year. It\u2019s Christmas\u2026. Love you and love your music.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cChristmas Love Song\u201d comes ahead of Nelson\u2019s upcoming 11-track studio album, Workin\u2019 Man: Willie Sings Merle. The forthcoming collection serves as a tribute project as it features Nelson putting his spin on a handful of Merle Haggard<\/strong>\u2019s self-penned classic country songs. Workin\u2019 Man: Willie Sings Merle arrives on Nov. 7.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time Nelson has celebrated Christmas with holiday music. He previously offered up his RIAA Platinum album, Pretty Paper, originally released in 1979 after Roy Orbison\u2019<\/strong>s performance of the title track became a hit. Additionally, the legendary icon released Christmas With Willie Nelson in 1994, Pancho, Lefty, and Rudolph in 1995, and Hill Country Christmas in 1997.<\/p>\n Look for a lyric video for \u201cChristmas Love Song\u201d on Nov. 18.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 26, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
