Newlywed Cole Swindell eyes first-year married ornament + family time for Christmas

ABC

It may be Cole Swindell's first Christmas as a married man, but he's not feeling the pressure of coming up with plans and traditions.

After all, this isn't his first holiday with his wife Courtney.

"[I] have spent every one of them with her since we started dating. I mean, from, we were pretty newly dating when I went to Thanksgiving and Christmas the first year. So that was a little uncomfortable," Cole tells ABC Audio. "But her family's so great."

"I mean, that's part of it all for me," he says. "Just to have another side of the family almost, it's just amazing, you know? And to see who raised her and her siblings. I mean, everybody's so cool, so [I'm] looking forward to that."

Since Cole's already familiar with the family gatherings and traditions, he's not planning to shake things up.

"Probably not a whole lot of change," the "Forever to Me" singer says. "We'll probably have some first-year married ornament or something on the tree. Other than that, I don't know. I'm here to see where it takes us." 

"Forever to Me" is currently in the top 20 and ascending the country charts. It's the lead single from Cole's forthcoming as-yet-untitled new album.
