A New Family Holiday Season for the McCreerys
This Christmas will be particularly special for the McCreery family. Scotty and his wife Gabi welcomed their second son, Oliver, in mid-September. Their first son, Merrick, is now a big brother.
The couple shared their joyful news on social media in May. They posted a series of photos announcing the pregnancy. Merrick wore a “Big Brother” sweater in the charming announcement.
Family life continues to be a central theme for the singer. This personal joy seems to be flowing directly into his new musical projects. His rendition of the holiday classic feels both genuine and heartfelt.
McCreery’s new take on “White Christmas” offers a cozy, country twist on a timeless favorite, providing the perfect soundtrack for family gatherings this holiday season.
Multi-platinum and award-winning country music star Scotty McCreery is getting us all in the holiday spirit with the release of his rendition of the classic Christmas tune, “White Christmas,” out now via Triple Tigers. Written in 1942 by Irving Berlin, the song has long been a holiday standard that elicits a feeling of nostalgia and being close to the ones you love. McCreery’s take, produced by Frank Rogers, is a seamless extension of the song’s legacy and invites everyone to huddle around the fireplace surrounded by friends and family.
“I love Christmas music and sing it throughout the year,” McCreery says. “For a long time, ‘White Christmas’ has been one of my favorite Christmas songs. I especially love The Drifters’ version as well as Elvis’s version. I decided it was now time to do my own version. Hope everyone likes it!!”
Recently, McCreery was presented with an RIAA gold plaque for his seventh No. 1 hit, “Bottle Rockets” featuring Hootie & The Blowfish, making this his 11th song to receive either a gold, platinum, or triple platinum certification. The summertime anthem is featured on McCreery’s recently released EP, Scooter & Friends, as the perfect soundtrack to summer. The five-song collection also includes McCreery’s collaborations with one of his greatest musical heroes, R&B icon Charlie Wilson (“Once Upon a Bottle of Wine”) and with Country music hitmaker Lee Brice (“Whiskey Said”).
Up next, he will be co-headlining the Two for the Road Tour with fellow country star Dustin Lynch. The run kicks off on November 6th in Saginaw, MI. These will be the North Carolina native’s first concerts since the September birth of his second son, Oliver Cooke McCreery.
