Watch the story behind the original 1934 composition that inspired Meghan's version: The Story Behind "Winter Wonderland" Mike Drop Music YouTube• Dec 3, 2025

The following story is inspired by the festive, family-oriented atmosphere Meghan created for the album, which she recorded while stuck at home during the 2020 lockdowns.

The air in the Trainor household was thick with the scent of cinnamon and the hum of a ukulele. It was the middle of a sweltering August, but inside, Meghan had transformed the living room into a tinsel-draped sanctuary. She was "a Christmas baby" at heart, and after years of dreaming, she was finally bringing her family together to create her first holiday record.

: Reviewers noted the "churchlike" and "quirky" mood of the album, with "Winter Wonderland" specifically praised for its breezy, acoustic feel.
