Christmas Eve is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani for her fourth studio album, You Make It Feel Like Christmas (2017).  It was released digitally on October 6, 2017, through Interscope Records, along with the rest of the album.  This arrangement, in the key of E-flat major, matches the key sung by Blake Shelton as he covered this track on his album, Cheers It's Christmas (Deluxe Edition).  The piano accompaniment is accessible, but musically presented and incorporates elements of the original production. 

A similar arrangement is also available from this publisher in the key of A Major, which is faithful to Gwen Stefani's original recording on her own album.

Gwen has mentioned in several interviews that she came up with the inspiration for this song, almost in totality, during a run on Blake Shelton's ranch.  In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2017, she remarked, When I think of the holiday season, I'm always going to think of this song, because this is a song that I wrote when I was on Blake Shelton's ranch, Stefani explains.  I was out for a run.  It was this gorgeous day, and I was praying, and this song just came to me.  The chorus just came to me.

When Blake heard the song, he loved it so much that he wanted to record it for his Christmas album, which was completely a shock and blew me away, she continued.  It's the first time anyone's ever recorded one of my songs.  

The MP3 recording of this arrangement is included for reference. The vocal part is represented by a string sound. Duration:  approx. 3:15
