It's a nice thought. I think it would've been absolutely great a long time ago. However, music has become so cookie-cutter that I wonder if it could be nearly as good as it would have been twenty to thirty years ago. If Fleetwood Mac or Stevie recorded a Christmas album, I would be concerned about the quality of the music and production. Personally, I do not ever want to listen to another overproduced/underproduced, bland, computerized, poorly mixed, digital, Pro Tools/Auto-Tune kind of album that is full of filler and devoid of harmony and melody again! Unfortunately, that is exactly how most albums from popular artists seem to be now. If that is what Fleetwood Mac and Stevie are interested in, I am not interested.
On the other hand, if they stop making an effort to conform to what is popular today, get out of their comfort zones for a little while, leave their houses and garages to record for a change and create original Christmas songs that they've written themselves, with the rich melodies and harmonies that they were notorious for(in addition to recording a few traditional songs), I would be the first person in line to buy their albums.
