Christmas is around the corner, which means, ‘tis the season to be jolly with our friends and family. It’s time to whip out those gorgeous lights, get those ugly Christmas sweaters on, and spread some holiday cheer. And one of the best ways to spread holiday cheer is by playing iconic Christmas songs on full volume all day long.
I know that we have a set of Christmas songs that we listen to every year. Many of us have been listening to those songs since childhood. But I think it’s time we re-vamp that Christmas songs playlist and add a few new renditions of old songs. To help you out we have a list of Christmas songs, old and new, which are definitely going to add some variety to your Christmas playlist this holiday season!
