And who better to put a modern twist on your favorite holiday classics than pop sensation Meghan Trainor? Her album, A Very Trainor Christmas, released on October 30, 2020, is here to jingle your bells and make your sleigh ride feel a whole lot smoother.
Trainor, known for her catchy hooks and a voice that could sweet-talk Santa himself, teamed up with a star-studded family cast (you read that right—family!) to bring us a festive collection that’s more cheerful than a cat in a Santa hat. Co-writing with her brothers, Ryan and Justin, and welcoming the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire and none other than Seth MacFarlane, Meghan proves that Christmas spirit is best enjoyed with a side of fun and familial collaboration.
Diving into the album, you’ll notice it covers holiday classics like “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” and “Last Christmas.” But don’t hit that snooze button just yet—Trainor sprinkles her unique magic across the tracks, transforming these songs into joyful anthems that will have you dancing around the Christmas tree. And let’s not forget the original compositions she’s thrown into the mix. After all, who says you can’t make new traditions while honoring the old?
One of the standout moments? Trainor’s collaboration with MacFarlane on a cover of “White Christmas.” This rendition gracefully soared to number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, proving that when it comes to holiday romps, Meghan knows how to deck the halls.
Critics have jumped on the train (pun fully intended!) to praise the album, pointing to Trainor’s infectious charisma and the classic yet fresh material. It snagged a very respectable seventh place on the US Holiday Albums chart—an impressive feat for a girl who just seemed to burst onto the scene a few years prior (we’re looking at you, 2014).
Not to be outdone in the visual department, several tracks even received music videos, because if a Christmas album can’t bring you a little visual frolic, then what’s the point, right? With joyful aesthetics and a dash of Meghan’s trademark energy, these videos are sure to keep your spirits high.
So as you prepare to bust out the tinsel, light your menorah, or just binge-watch your favorite holiday specials, don’t forget to add A Very Trainor Christmas to your playlist. Whether you’re a Trainor fan or just someone looking to inject some musical cheer into the gloomy winter days, this album is a delightful companion. It’s like a mug of hot cocoa—sweet, warming, and ideal for sharing with friends and family.
So gather ’round, kick back, and let Meghan Trainor and her merry band of holiday collaborators serenade your Christmas into something unforgettable. After all, what could be more fun than a jolly pop album that manages to be both festive and fabulously catchy? Happy listening!
