Nashville-based singer-songwriter Laura Mustard is spreading holiday joy with her first Christmas song, ‘Santa Paws‘. This fun and cozy acoustic pop track celebrates the special role dogs play during the holiday season, filled with playful energy and a warm, festive vibe.
The song features sleigh bells, ukulele, and catchy backing vocals that create a perfect holiday atmosphere. The lyrics, “A house is not a home without a dog to call your own”, highlight Laura’s love for her two dogs, Stella and Sawyer, who also appear in the song. They make their musical debut with sounds of them barking, playing with toys, and having fun around the house. Laura says the idea for ‘Santa Paws’ had been in her head for a while, and she was excited to bring it to life with Nashville producer Nolan Sorsby. ”We had so much fun writing and recording this song! I had the title idea of ‘Santa Paws’ in my head for a while and I love that Nolan was game for seeing what this idea really could be!” The song even includes a perfect moment when the sound of a tennis ball bouncing lines up with the music—something that came from a random video of Laura playing with her dogs.
If you’re a dog lover or just looking for a feel-good holiday song, “Santa Paws” is sure to make your season a little brighter. Get in the holiday spirit and listen to “Santa Paws” by Laura Mustard, streaming now.
