As we celebrate the holiday season, here are some songs you should definitely give a listen to or add to your playlist! These are some of my favorites and will definitely add some pep to your day as you gear up for parties, gatherings, and quiet time spent with your loved ones.

1. Text Me Merry Christmas (feat. Kristen Bell)- Straight No Chaser, Kristen Bell

This song adds a modern day twist to traditional Christmas music. I bet a lot of us could relate to being away from a loved one during the holiday season.

2. Winter Wonderland / Don’t Worry Be Happy- Pentatonix, Tori Kelly

This track is so cheerful and gets me feeling excited for all the joyous moments to come this winter break!

3. Last Christmas- Wham!

This song is such a classic. Your playlist wouldn’t be complete without it.

4. All I Want For Christmas Is You- Mariah Carey

Another classic. Mariah Carey’s whole album is full of peppy and energetic Christmas hits.

5. Mary, Did You Know?- Pentatonix

This song is slow and somber. I like that it brings a little bit of faith into the mix. It’s a very peaceful and thoughtful song.

6. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy- Vitamin String Quartet

Vitamin String Quartet’s albums are filled with instrumental versions of classics but this one stands out to me. I love this song’s energy and excitement.

7. Let It Snow- Straight No Chaser

A capella groups just have a way with Christmas music. Straight No Chaser again does a wonderful job with a holiday favorite.

8. It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas- Bing Crosby

An old school classic, this song will definitely get you in the spirit of getting ready for the holidays!

9. Mis Deseos / Feliz Navidad (Duet)- Michael Bublé, Thalía

This song is super sweet and has a catchy melody. Michael Bublé’s entire album is filled with jazzy and cheerful tracks.

10. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)- Nat King Cole

This classic is a favorite of mine. This song will get you pumped and ready to celebrate with your family and friends in no time.
