Christmas has come early for Gwen Stefani and her fans. The veteran pop singer will reunite her old band No Doubt for a residency at the MSG-owned Sphere in Las Vegas. She has a new Christmas song, “Shake the Snow Globe,” which appears in a holiday movie. And her yuletide album from 2017, You Make It Feel Like Christmas, has had an updated deluxe release.

All of them gifts.

Stefani stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a chat about her busy year-end, and her dream realized by locking away that weeks-long slot at Sphere.

“We’re excited,” she tells the late-night show’s host. “We did Coachella (in 2024) and it was so unbelievably amazing. It was like, amazing. And we were kinda talking for a while. We do everything slow, it seems like. But we were talking for years, again. And trying to find that thing that would be, you know, as good, you know? And I think the Sphere is, like, the future. It’s kind of a cross between a concert and a movie.”

As previously reported, an initial stretch of 12 No Doubt shows were booked for May 2026. The goal was to sell it out, she tells Fallon. Mission accomplished, immediately. Another six have been added for next June, which are billed as “final” dates of the residency.

No Doubt burst out of the Anaheim, CA ska and punk scene in 1986, eventually becoming one of the defining pop-rock bands of the 1990s. Their breakthrough album, Tragic Kingdom, topped the Billboard 200 for nine consecutive weeks, and is one of five top 10s on the all-genres albums tally. Over time, No Doubt earned two Grammy Awards and nine nominations, and landed eight hits on the Billboard Hot 100. After nearly three decades together, the band went on hiatus in the mid-2010s as Stefani pursued a successful solo career.

Stefani is hoping those Sphere shows will be like stepping into a time machine. “I want people to come and make it feel, like, really nostalgic. Like they’re back in time. Like, ‘remember this? Remember this, guys?’ Like, this is what we did together.’” The bandmates are already mapping out the show, the setlist, she insists. “It’s gonna be so awesome.”

No Doubt has only performed twice since breaking up in 2015, most recently at the 2025 FireAid benefit concert in January.

But first, Christmas. It’s a time of year that Stefani loves to shine. You Make It Feel Like Christmas has been reissued as an Amazon-exclusive deluxe edition with two new songs, including “Shake the Snow Globe,” an addition to the holiday film Oh. What. Fun.

Has Stefani hung out with the film’s stars, Michelle Pfeiffer and Denis Leary? Well, of course. “I was like, ‘am I in high school right now?” she recounts. “Like it’s so weird. I’m standing in a room with these guys. And they’re really just icons.”  

Stefani sprinkled the Christmas spirit with a performance of the song for Fallon’s studio audience. Watch below.
