Your 2016 Christmas Playlist
Digital Trends

Christmas is officially here! Christmastime is the best time of the year in my opinion, and part of what makes it so great is Christmas music. Thanks to Spotify Premium, I was even more motivated to make a Christmas playlist of my own with my favorite songs. Here are the top 16 I suggest you add to your playlist:

1. It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

This should be at the top of everyone's list because the opening instrumentals just really get you in the spirit!!

2. The Christmas Song

This recently became a favorite and people tend to forget about this one- the Michael Bublé version is the best and will make you want Jack Frost to nip at your nose.

3. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Another song where any version can get you in the spirit!

4. White Christmas

A classic Irving Berlin song!

5. Baby It's Cold Outside

Such a crowd favorite and one everyone knows and loves. I love the Idina Menzel/Michael Bublé version that came out a few years ago!

6. Silver Bells

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIMEEEE IN THE CITTYYYY

7. We Need a Little Christmas

I hear this song on the radio a lot (it's actually from the Broadway production of Mame). But I literally LOVE the "Glee" version of this!

8. Run Rudolph Run

Chuck Berry, of course, does this the best!

9. Last Christmas

Probably one of my top five favorites and even though Wham! does this originally, I secretly love the "Glee" version of this, too.

10. Do You Hear What I Hear?

I think this is one of the most beautiful Christmas songs and so many artists have done amazing versions of it. My favorite is Idina Menzel's.

11. A Holly Jolly Christmas

I love this song because artists have either done the original arrangement, but also one that's a bit different and slower as well.

12. All I Want For Christmas Is You

Obviously the Mariah Carey classic everyone makes sure they listen to during the holiday season. Though few can top her version, this is another song Idina Menzel does a great job on, too.

13. Carol of the Bells

THIS JUST GETS ME SO IN THE MOOD FOR CHRISTMAS I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN

14. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

A magical song that makes me want to walk through a winter wonderland or something!!

15. I'll Be Home For Christmas

This song just overall makes you feel thankful for your family and everything that you have. I love Frank Sinatra on this song.

16. Greatest Time of Year

This song is amazing and Aly and AJ have done an awesome job! With a mix of rock and pop, this upbeat tune is sure to put you in the Christmas mood.

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.
