As of November 1st, it's Christmas for me. I blast the music, hang up twinkle lights in my room, and have Christmas (cinnamon everything) scented candles all over the place. I'm not religious at all, but I love the season. The music is one of my favorite things about the holiday. I love music in general, but there is something about Christmas music that just gets me in the mood for the Holidays. I've compiled a list of the top songs you should listen to this holiday season in my opinion. Some are well known and others are not so much. Break out your hot chocolate, curl up in your favorite blanket, and get ready to listen to some amazing Christmas music!
"All I Want For Christmas Is You" -Mariah Carey
This song is just iconic. I love how upbeat and cheerful it is! Even the covers done by multiple other bands and singers are incredible. You can't really go wrong with this song.
"Christmas Lights" - Daniel Hudson
I found this song after listening to Christmas music for about an hour straight on YouTube and it was a suggested video. I love it so much! I don't know if it's because of the slight 80s sound to it or just the singer's voice, but it's now in my top five favorite Christmas songs.
Don't deny it. This song makes you feel a little dirty, but it's a fun tune to listen to. Whether you're with your significant other under the mistletoe or drank too much "egg nog" and are with a total stranger by the fire, this song will set the mood for your holiday shenanigans or lack thereof.
"Silver Nights" - Sabrina Carpenter
This song came out last year and is by a child star so I wasn't overly excited about it, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. This song will end up stuck in your head and making you wish you had a cute relationship for the holidays.
"Christmas Time Is Here" - Daniela Andrade ft. Cutest Dog in the Galaxy
The title doesn't lie. The cutest dog in the world is in this video getting serenaded by Daniela Andrade's incredible voice. It's a much slower song than the rest on the list so grab a cup of hot chocolate and stare into the fire while you listen to this song.
"It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas" - Michael Buble
We all need some Michael Buble in our lives for Christmas. His incredible voice brings so much life to this classic song. This entire Christmas album of his is really amazing though, so if you like this song, check out the rest.
