After enjoying a delightful Thanksgiving in Oklahoma, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are already brainstorming ideas for Christmas. These two lovebirds don’t have to stress too much, though, because they've already established some cherished family traditions that they look forward to every year. One of their favorite traditions involves experimenting with new recipes.
“Blake and I always try something new that we haven’t attempted before. We just browse the internet and find a recipe that catches our eye, and we go for it. You know?” Gwen, the lead singer of No Doubt, shared with E! News. She added that this tradition adds an exciting element to their holiday celebrations.
Recalling the Timpano Feast
In 2018, the couple decided to cook up a storm by making the Italian delicacy known as timpano. This dish is essentially a giant pie filled with meatballs, penne pasta, marinara sauce, and sausage, all encased in a buttery crust. It was a massive hit at their family gathering, and Gwen was eager to recreate the magic this year. However, Blake had other ideas.

“I really wanted to make the timpano again,” Gwen admitted. “But Blake was like, ‘No, our tradition isn’t about doing the same thing every year.’ And I was like, ‘Alright, let’s move on.’” It seems that for these two, the excitement lies in the unknown and the adventure of trying something new each time.
Gwen's Kids Bring Their Own Flair
While Gwen and Blake enjoy experimenting with new recipes, her kids—Kingston, 13, Zuma, 11, and Apollo, 5—have their own unique traditions. These little ones, who Gwen shares with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, have a habit of creating chaos during the holidays, which Blake finds both amusing and exasperating.
“It’s absolute chaos at our house,” Blake joked. “There’s no denying it. The only consistent thing is when they tear through the wall of wrapping paper that Gwen sets up every year. That’s pretty much the only thing that happens without fail. One year, there might be a fight over a toy that someone else didn’t get. And the next year, they all get along like a house on fire.”
