10 Songs To Make Your Christmas Playlist Merry And Bright

In This Article:

Like most, I love Christmas music. Whether I'm riding around in my car looking at festive lights or hosting a party for all of my friends, I have Christmas music playing. Even if I'm attempting to bake Christmas cookies, I'll have my festive playlist on. However, I don't recommend turning your music up too loud where you can't hear the oven going off. Just saying, it's not the best idea. Below I have made a list of my 10 favorite Christmas songs to listen to (special shoutout to my roommate for introducing these to me). These songs are guaranteed to make you cry, sing along, or break out into a dance party with your friends.

1. "Mary, Did You Know?" by Pentatonix.

A twist on the classic, this song is absolutely beautiful. The Pentatonix always do amazing on whatever song they do and this one is no exception.

2. "Believe" by Josh Groban.

I love The Polar Express. Growing up it was one of my all time favorite movies to watch around Christmas time. Am I the only one who wanted a cup of that hot chocolate the kids got? Anyways, this song is absolutely amazing and I get chills whenever I listen to it. One of the favorites that I highly, highly recommend.

3. "The Christmas Shoes" by NewSong.

I'm convinced that you're soulless if this song doesn't make you feel at least a little bit emotional. I myself am not an overly emotional person, but even I feel some type of way listening to this song.

4. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" by *NSYNC.

Many may think I've been living under a rock but I absolutely love this song and just found it recently (shoutout to Lillie). Even if you aren't an *NSYNC fan, this is still a great song for your playlist.

5. "Noel" by Chris Tomlin ft. Lauren Daigle.

A girl at my church performed this song last Christmas and it is one of my absolute favorites. Everything by or with Lauren Daigle is absolutely beautiful, go check this one out.

6. "Leory the Redneck Reindeer" by Joe Diffie.

This song is hilarious and never fails to put me in a good mood. It would be a shame to not include this one in my top ten list.

7. "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber.

I'm not a Justin Bieber fan in all truth, sorry not sorry. But I do enjoy this Christmas song by him, maybe you will too.

8. "Winter Wonderland/Here Comes Santa Clause" by Snoop Dogg and Anna Kendrick.

Again, shout out to my roommate for showing me this song. We love it, but her boyfriend always tries to change it when we play it. Will you end up loving this song or hitting skip as well?

9. "Holy Emmanuel" by Terry Scott Taylor.

This song has some serious indie vibes and I love it. If you've seen my underrated songs list you know that I pretty much love any song that gives off indie vibes. This one is no exception.

10. "When Christmas Comes to Town" by Matthew Hall and Meagan Moore.

As I've said, I love the Polar Express and would've put the entire album on this list if I could have. Besides the two songs listed, feel free to explore all that the album has to offer.

Hopefully, my list has helped you find a new favorite or favorites to add to your holiday playlist. You can also check out Spotify for other Christmas playlists to help you find your inspiration. Here is to hoping that both you and your families have a wonderful holiday and a Merry Christmas!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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

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.

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.
