Beabadoobee has covered 'Winter Wonderland' (complete with the backing of a string section) for Apple Music's Carols Covered series, which also includes holiday renditions by Victoria Monét, James Blake, Arlo Parks, and more.
About her cover, Bea says: "I wanted it to be a classic that was kind of my goal for when kind of covering the song. And I was kind of finding inspiration from all the original Christmas carols, Christmas songs and Disney princesses even. And I always wanted to be a Disney princess as cringey as that sounds. But since I was a little girl and this for me is like one step closer to that goal. 'Winter Wonderland', especially, is actually really sentimental to me because that was when my boyfriend asked me out. And it was like this thing you get in London where you can go out and it's really expensive, but it's really worth. It's really romantic and it's so Christmassy. And obviously we can't do it this year because of Corona. But yeah, I chose to sang a song about 'Winter Wonderland'. I just wanted it to sound really timeless."
