The Top 10 Christmas Songs To Jam Out To This Holiday Season

1. All I Want for Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

Is there even a question here? This has definitely been on the top of everyone's Christmas playlist since its release back in 1994.

2. The First Noel - Josh Groban and Faith Hill

Josh Groban - largely known for his chill-and-tear-inducing rendition of You Raise Me Up in 2003 - tries his hand at popular Christmas songs in his album ‘Noel’, released back in 2007. His duet with Faith Hill really stands out as one of the best on the album.

3. The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole

A holiday classic, featuring the ever-so popular “chestnuts roasting on an open fire” verse that makes us feel all warm and cozy on the inside.

4. Angels We Have Heard on High - Andrea Bocelli

Even though this version is in Italian, and I have no idea what he is actually saying, it is totally ok because Bocelli has the voice of angel.

5. Do You Hear What I Hear? - Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood adds her country-pop tang to this holiday classic.

6. Carol of the Bells - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

While not featuring any vocals, this instrumental version of the holiday classic is a great song to rock out to while decorating the house or preparing for Christmas dinner.

7. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Andy Williams

I would have to agree with Andy Williams.

8. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing - Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Choir meets Christmas music and the results are quite pleasing to the ear

9. Oh Little Town of Bethlehem - Sarah McLachlan

When Sarah McLachlan is not hanging out with dogs and making us all cry, she actually sings sometimes and recorded a Christmas album that is pretty good, featuring this version of a holiday classic.

10. Where Are You, Christmas? - Faith Hill

This song, featured in How the Grinch Stole Christmas, has become a holiday classic.

BONUS: Winter Wonderland/Here Comes Santa Claus - Snoop Dogg and Anna Kendrick

This is a great mashup of two classic holiday songs featured in Pitch Perfect 2. Undeniably catchy, Snoop Dogg and Anna Kendrick provide the vocals over an updated, electronic/funky beat that is slightly funny to listen to but still enjoyable nonetheless.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human 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.

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.
