Your Christmas tree is up, the lights are brightening up your home, and every other decoration is out. However, there’s one last thing you need to host your Christmas parties and gatherings, and that’s the perfect Christmas playlist. Here are some songs you can add to your playlist!
Christmas Songs For Your Holiday Playlist
“All I Want For Christmas Is You” – Mariah Carey
One of the most well-known holiday songs of all time, Mariah Carey–the modern queen of Christmas–continues to top the list of top Christmas songs with this hit. It really resonates with everyone because as we get older, we realize that Christmas isn’t about the number of gifts under the tree, but the amount of love you receive. This song’s lyrics are tailored to those who simply want to be with someone this holiday season, and that’s why it deserces to be on every Christmas playlist.
“It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year” – Andy Williams
Christmas time really is the most wonderful time of the year, and this classic Christmas song will keep your holiday spirits high and remind you of how wonderful and beautiful this time of year is. From caroling in the snow to parties with your family, there’s so much to be grateful for.
“Last Christmas” – Wham!
It’s the holiday song for the heartbroken, with its vintage synths and wistful whispers. But this song’s catchy melody makes it one of the best Christmas songs that everyone–regardless of your heart’s state–can sing in karaoke (or in the shower). Fun fact: It was released in 1984, but believe it or not, it didn’t top the charts until 2017!
“Santa Claus is Coming to Town” – Jackson 5
Almost every artist has a version of this song, but Michael and the gang’s rendition is the catchiest, and grooviest of them all. Creepy lyrics aside (“he sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake”), it’s a great reminder for kids and kids are heart to be good all year round.
“Happy Xmas (War is Over)” – John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Protests aren’t always won through violence–sometimes, a bit of holiday cheer really helps to make the message resonate. “War is over,” sing a choir of children in this Lennon classic, but only, they add, “If you want it.” With all the chaos happening around the world, a bit of peace is certainly the best Christmas gift.
