For when I’m insistent that “the cold never bothered me anyway”.

If you haven’t seen “Daddy’s Home 2”, I definitely recommend it! This song appears in it and it is amazing!
Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee
This song instantly takes me back to this “Home Alone 2” scene:

This song gives me all of the nostalgic feels. From the legendary movie “The Polar Express”. It’s one of those songs I know all of the words to.

This is Cindy Lou’s song from “Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Chirstmas”. Definitely one of my favourite Christmas movies!
It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas - Michael Bublé
I love when it begins to look, smell, taste, sounds, and feel a lot like Christmas!

Last Christmas - Wham!
This will always be my go to Christmas karaoke song!
Little Drummer Boy - Pentatonix
One word: GOOSEBUMPS! Pentatonix never fails to amaze me by their talent. Their take on the Little Drummer Boy has a majestical feel that is reminiscent of Christmas miracles.
Somewhere in my Memory - John Williams
Home Alone is hands down my favourite Christmas movie! Even though my family and I watch it every year, we never get sick of it. The soundtrack always reminds me of this wonderful time of year.
Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano
This upbeat song has to be my favourite holiday song! It gets stuck in my head every year for good reason!

You know that scene in Christmas movies where there is a happy montage with upbeat, happy music playing in the background that makes you feel excited and warm inside. Underneath the Tree is just that type of song!
A Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives
The holiday season is not complete with Burl Ives. When I hear this song I can’t help but feel cheerful.

This throwback never fails to take me back to the year of 2011!
