Your Guide To The Perfect Christmas Workout Playlist
Stephen Bruce

Thanksgiving is finally upon us. And we are all looking forward for this holiday for more then the day of deserved love and indulgence... As soon as that dinner is over, it is officially time to switch to full on Xmas music mode. Here are some of the all-time best holiday tunes to jam out to while you work hard to balance all the treats and partying this season. Please indulge this next month in both the festivities AND in listening to holy holy holiday music.


To listen to all of these songs collectively, click here to check out my playlist on Spotify!

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

Starting a list out with a heart wrenching favorite. You can't help getting pumped on this classic. (Also Fifth Harmony has a great version)


Sleigh Ride - Debbie Gibson


I promise the girl kills this rendition. This will be sure to get you giddy-ing up.


Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano

A spicy Christmas hit! Don't even try and resist, I promise you will lose. Give in to the song and the workout!


Run Run Rudolph - Chuck Berry

A good pace for walk or light jog. Who doesn't love Rudolph?


Deck The Rooftop - Glee Cast

Glee always did to a great job with their mash ups, and this one is definitely one of their greatest and peppiest.


We Need A Little Christmas - Glee Cast

Sorry not sorry, Glee really did kill it with their Christmas album.


Last Christmas - Wham!

A little slow moving for a cardio song, but definitely needed to be included on this list. Maybe more of a stretching/core song. Who knows!


Underneath The Tree - Kelly Clarkson

Some old-school Kelly. Can't go wrong. A perfect for all the hopeless romantics.


Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande

Dat beat doe. Gotta love the queen of pop... I MEAN THOSE RIFFS.


Take A Break Guys - The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Who doesn't love a good ol' instrumental groove for their workout?!


Act II: Candy Cane - George Balanchine's The Nutcracker


The Nutcracker is so lit that it had to be included somewhere in this list. This delightful number will get you sprinting your tush off!


Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses

If you are having a bit of a bitter holiday time, listen to this to sweat it all out. It'll connect with you but also give you some of that Christmas magic.


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


A perfect one for us millennials. Actually, for everyone because this is 2016 and we are all about this digital life. BAH. But it sure is catchy, and it makes me giggle, so check it.



Jesus Oh What A Wonderful Child - Mariah Carey

Why not come back to the reason for the season amirite? The soul just slays in this. I beg of you to wait because the last minute of this song will really get ya goin'.


A happy thanksgiving to all. Allow yourself to enjoy the day, and remember how pumped you will be to workout during the most wonderful time of the year with these tunes!

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
