I can honestly say that my 18 years of life has caused me to legitimately despise that one radio station that continuously plays the same classic Christmas carols all day, every day, in the same order. I mean the classics are great, do not get me wrong, but they're becoming a little played out. I have for you today, a new Christmas playlist for you. Some of those same classic songs are still on here, just some updated versions and a few originals. No matter what your preferred music genre is, I'm sure you'll find something you like here...
1. Last Christmas - Taylor Swift
For the country lovers out there, this first one is for you! Nothing like some 2007 Taylor Swift to start off the holidays!
2. Carol of the Bells - Crystallize
Man, these DJ's can make any song sound really cool now.
3. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays - Issues
For some this one might be a little too heavy for your liking, but a cover of a popular holiday song by the one & only *NSYNC is perfect to listen to when you need to get hyped for the holidays!
4. The Christmas Song - Justin Bieber featuring Usher
If you haven't listened to Justin Bieber's Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe, you're missing out. Oh, those beautiful vocals.
5. Fool's Holiday - All Time Low
A little Christmas love song for you! I cannot lie, this personal favorite of mine. I mean you could never go wrong with some All Time Low.
6. Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker - Dirty Noize
I'm not even into EDM and I was even jamming to this. Dirty Noize brought an exciting spin to this Christmas classic!
7. Jingle Bell Rock - Rascal Flatts
I really cannot listen to this song without doing the Mean Girl's dance in my head, but this is a fun version for sure!
8. Baby, It's Cold Outside - Larry Lovestein Featuring Ariana Grande
Larry Lovestein (Mac Miller) and Ariana Grande released this gem four years ago! Thanks you guys!
9. Ex-Miss - New Found Glory
A pessimistic take on a Christmas time. If you're going through a Christmas time break up, I am very sorry. New Found Glory has been there.
10. All I Want For Christmas Is You (Extra Festive) - Mariah Carey
If you are not listening to the extra festive version, you're doing Christmas wrong.
11. Yule Shoot Your Eye Out - Fall Out Boy
I'd like to thank Fall Out Boy for this piece of art and Patrick Stump's parents for giving birth to him.
12. This Christmas - The Summer Set
This might be the most fun and upbeat song on this list. The Summer Set really killed this song!
13. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas - Michael Buble
Michael Buble's voice fits this song perfectly, and all of his Christmas music is surely phenomenal.
14. Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass - All Time Low
Another Christmas break up song! Whether you're in a happy relationship, single, in that awkward talking phase, or going through a break up I promise you this is a fun one to sing with friends as loud as possible!
15. Winter Wonderland/Don't Worry, Be Happy - Pentatonix featuring Tori Kelly
Aside from this being such a wonderful take on a classic song, Tori Kelly is in it too?!?! Everyone's voices mesh so delightfully!
16. Won't Be Home for Christmas - Blink-182
A very scrooge-inspired Christmas song, but I couldn't leave out Blink even if I tried.
