The song is part of the 10th anniversary edition of ‘A Very She & Him Christmas.’
Zooey Deschanel is not just a Christmas icon because she was the apple of Will Ferrell’s eye in Elf. Her holiday output with M. Ward and their group She & Him also offers some of the finest yuletide cheer this side of the North Pole. Through both 2011’s A Very She & Him Christmas and 2016’s A Christmas Party, the pair enacted classic Christmas carols with a modern vintage feel. Now for the album’s 10th anniversary, a deluxe edition of A Very She & Him Christmas is being released on November 12th via Merge Records. Today, the pair have put out a heartwarming version of “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas.” It’s such a lovely nod to Meredith Wilson’s 1951 original that was popularized by singers like Bing Crosby and Perry Como, that when Deschanel sings over Ward’s delicate guitar and a softly-singing backing chamber choir, it might as well trigger snow to fall outside your window.
