9 Songs You Should Be Listening To This Holiday Season

The Balance.com

If you're anything like me, you love Christmas music, but you get sick of listening to the same five songs over and over on the radio. Keeping this in mind, I went on a mission to find the best new Christmas songs. These songs are totally underrated, so give them a listen and feel free to add them to your well-loved Christmas playlist!

1. "Someday at Christmas" - Andra Day and Stevie Wonder

This song was featured in an Apple commercial last year, and ever since then, it has been one of my favorite Christmas songs. Andra's voice is amazing, making this song an instant classic.

2. "Christmas Sing-Along" - Pentatonix

If you haven't heard of Pentatonix, you've been missing out. Their unique acapella sound perfectly fits the holiday spirit. You cant help but "sing along" to this song, and the chorus is super catchy.

3. "Hoping For Snow" - The Vamps

What Christmas playlist is complete without a boy band send up ? This song is an updated Christmas love song reminiscent of "Last Christmas," which definitely isn't a bad thing. It's a cute little song to listen to as it gets colder and the first of the season comes!

4. "Santa Tell Me" - Ariana Grande

This is probably my favorite song on this list because it's honestly a total Christmas jam. It's classic Ariana -- super pop with just a hint of old-school soul. This is probably my favorite song on this list, so you should definitely give it a listen.

5. "All I Need Is Love" - CeeLo feat. Disney's The Muppets

This song has been stuck in my head for days, so it had to be included in this list. Honestly, I was skeptical about this song when I first heard it, but it really grew on me. It's so cute, and the Muppets sing their theme song throughout.

6. "One More Sleep" - Leona Lewis

This song brings back memories of being a kid and staying up all night to wait for santa. It channels more classic Christmas tunes, but still sounds fresh. It's such a cute song, perfect to listen to as the holidays creep closer.

7. "Fool's Holiday" - All Time Low

This song is geared toward the punk lover, but it pulls in classic Christmas elements that make its appeal universal. The lyrics are actually really cute, and you'll be humming the chorus for quite a while after you listen to it.

8. "Winter Song" - Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson

This truly one of the most beautiful holiday songs. Sara and Ingrid can do no wrong, and this is by far the best cover I've heard of this song. It is so raw and really captures the more somber side of winter and the holiday season.

9. "Holiday in L.A." - Band of Merrymakers

This song sounds like something that would be in a Target commercial. It's definitely not a traditional carol, but it's fun to listen to. If you live somewhere that doesn't get too cold in December, this is the Christmas song you listen to with your windows rolled down in the car.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
