Christmas has come early for fans of Shawn Mendes.

The singer-songwriter – already set to top next week’s Billboard 200 with his latest album ‘Wonder’ – is gifting his supporters a “thank you” via a stirring rendition of yuletide classic ‘The Christmas Song’ with girlfriend Camila Cabello.

Unveiled December 5 (as we reported here), the song is found aboard the deluxe edition of Mendes’ LP.  With its sales proceeds to be donated to Feeding America for needy families just in time for the holidays, the Pop couple are looking to raise awareness for the cause – a bid supported by the tune’s official accompanying clip.

A home video style production, look inside for the candid snaps of the duo ringing in their second Christmas season together.

Last blasting to the top of charts with her 2016 studio LP, ‘This is What the Truth Feels Like,’ the 51-year-old’s spent the time since racking up Country hits with fiancé Blake Shelton and annually recharging her 2017-released holiday album, ‘You Make it Feel Like Christmas.’

As we reported here, that all changed Monday (December 7) when Stefani unleashed ‘Let Me Reintroduce Myself’ – a self-proclaimed return to the (sonic) form found aboard her Ska-Pop filled No Doubt and early solo offerings.

Just a day after filling out a star-studded lineup of music stars helping Disney usher in the 2020 Christmas season with its ABC ‘Holiday Singalong’ television special (click here to watch), chart-topping Pop stars P!nk and Katy Perry reunited to share billing on yet another performance roster – this time for a good cause.

Joining forces with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the divas took their talents to the non-profit’s ‘Change Maker’ virtual fundraiser Tuesday (December 1) to help raise funds in support of the organization’s work to save and improve the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children.

Although guest appearances at the event included Perry’s husband Orlando Bloom, Alyssa Milano, Billie Eilish, FINNEAS, and many more, the night’s standout moments came courtesy of its performers Liam Payne, P!nk, and Perry – who lifted a particularly stirring live rendition of her latest single, ‘Only Love’ (found aboard the 2020 album ‘Smile’).
