Officially Christmas by Dan + Shay – Song of the Day

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – and I don’t mean Christmas, I mean that magical month where we can blast holiday music and no one can judge us for it! Because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love Christmas music all year round?! This December, we are going to be adding our Songs of the Day to our very special Countrytown Christmas Playlist, complete with re-imagined country-style holiday classics as well as what are sure to be new festive favourites!

Following the release of their Amazon Original titled Pick Out A Christmas Tree, Dan + Shay have dropped a new holiday song called Officially Christmas. It’s our festive Song of the Day!

The song was inspired by the duo, made up of vocalists and songwriters Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, and their thoughts on the holiday season.

Dan says “So, people often debate when is it OK to start celebrating Christmas … when is it OK to decorate for Christmas … some say if the day after Halloween some say you gotta wait till Thanksgiving but the way we see it, it’s officially Christmas whenever you feel it in your heart. We wrote this song about that … we wanted people to have an anthem, when they felt the Christmas spirit, they could probably celebrate it and say it’s officially Christmas.”

It's not the first holiday song the pair have released. In 2020, they put out their first two with Take Me Home for Christmas and Christmas Isn't Christmas. Combined, the songs were streamed nearly 100 million times.
