If you love country music and the holiday season, here are the 22 songs you need to add to your playlist now:

1. Home — Blake Shelton featuring Michael Bublé

If you don't like Michael Bublé, you're lying to yourself.

2. This Christmas — Lady Antebellum

3. I'll Be Home For Christmas — Rascal Flatts

The melodies in this acapella number are as breathtaking as negative 10 degree weather.

4. Deck The Halls — Rascal Flatts

This typically upbeat banger takes a turn and slows down as the boys of Rascal Flatts jam it out.

5. All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan — (can you guess it?) Kenny Chesney

6. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas — Brett Eldredge

Let's be honest here, his entire Christmas album is fire.

7. Jingle Bell Rock — Blake Shelton featuring Miranda Lambert

Although these two aren't together anymore, they sure do make one heck of a vocal duo.

8. Merry Christmas Darling — Phil Vassar

9. Candy Cane Christmas — Darius Rucker

10. Winter Wonderland — Brad Paisley

This song adds the lovable country twang to one of your holiday favorites.

11. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas — Dan + Shay

12. Celebrate Me Home — Jennifer Nettles

13. It Must Be Christmas — Chris Young

14. The Christmas Song — Brett Eldredge

14. You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch — Darius Rucker

15. Jingle Bells — Kenny Chesney

It's got a tropical island twist to it — are you surprised?

16. Santa Clause Is Coming To Town — Alan Jackson

17. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer — Kacey Musgraves

18. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) — Lady Antebellum

19. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas — Little Big Town

I know this is a repeat, but both versions are so different that it's okay.

20. Winter Wonderland — Faith Hill

Also a repeat, but also very different from good ol' Brad's version.

21. Up On The Houstop — George Strait

22. Baby, It's Cold Outside — Brett Eldredge featuring Meghan Trainor

Throw these country-spiced holiday songs into your mix of Christmas classics to jazz it up a bit. Or, just listen to these songs if you despise all other genres. There are tons of other country music holiday songs out there, but this list is guaranteed to give you a good start.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
