7 Christmas Albums You Need To Listen To This Year

Based on the Starbucks cups I'm seeing around town, it's officially Christmas time. It's time for peppermint mochas and beanies and snow everywhere (if you live in a place where it snows). If you're like me, you probably have holiday music on repeat this time of year and listen to it wherever you are. Because nothing makes you happier than songs about winter wonderlands, right?

If you need some new music for this holiday season, check out these suggestions!

1. "Christmas" by Michael Buble

I think I could listen to this album on repeat for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. His voice is the perfect thing on a cold December night (see what I did there?).

2. "That's Christmas to Me" by Pentatonix

This is the second Christmas album from Pentatonix, and it's my favorite. The song selection on this album is great, and their voices are truly one of a kind. Pentatonix is not a band to sleep on, trust me.

3. "Boogie Woogie Christmas" by the Brian Setzer Orchestra

Who doesn't want to jazz it up during the holidays? I have been listening to this album since I was a kid, and I've even skated to a few songs. Brian Setzer has an amazing style that lends itself well to spicing up your Christmas playlist.

4. "The Polar Express" Soundtrack

Honestly, "Believe" gives me so many feels during the holidays. I love this movie, and the soundtrack is just as good, if not better.

5. "A Charlie Brown Christmas" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio

A classic, of course, and a necessity. I love listening to this album when I'm decorating the house, or just reading a good book with some coffee. You have to listen to this at least twice or the ghost of Charles Schultz will haunt you all season long.

6. "Merry Christmas" by Mariah Carey

Another must-have for this Christmas. Everyone loves Mariah, and this album just makes you feel happy.

7. "Elvis' Christmas Album" by Elvis Presley

There are so many classics on this album that have to be listened to at least once a year. "Blue Christmas" is still one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

University of Denver

1793

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
