Written in collaboration with Sylvia Harnarain.

We’ve compiled some of our favourite  holiday tracks that will definitely get you in the holiday spirit! Grab a cup of hot chocolate, sit back, relax, and enjoy our festive playlist! 

Let It Snow! - Lena Horne

A song for when the weather outside is frightful!


Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms

Who can forget the Mean Girls choreography to this Christmas classic!


This Christmas - Chris Brown 

This song was featured in the 2007 movie “This Christmas”, which is such a throwback for me!


All I Want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey 

Can’t have a Christmas playlist without this legendary song!


Winter Wonderland - Amy Grant 

I remember when I was in elementary school we used to sing Christmas carols and this song always takes me back to those days!


Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman - Gene Autry 


My favourite Christmas reindeer and snowman! 


Let It Go - Idina Menzel

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

Sleigh Ride - Ella Fitzgerald 

This song gives me all of the warm and cozy sleigh ride imagery!


Baby It’s Cold Outside - Frank Sinatra, Dorothy Kirsten

I’m always reminded of Elf’s iconic duet of this song!


Do They Know It’s Christmas? - 1984 Version - Band Aid 

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: 


When Christmas Comes to Town - Matthew Hall, Meagan Moore 

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. 


Where Are You Christmas - Faith Hill 

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!


What Christmas Means To Me - Stevie Wonder

The lyrics include many Christmas symbols and imagery that never fails to make me feel jolly. 


Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande

Her strong vocals and catchy hook make this a perfect holiday song.

 

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

Around this time of the year a lot of people spend time with loved ones and remember to count their blessings. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.


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! 


Underneath the Tree - Kelly Clarkson

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. 


Mistletoe - Justin Bieber

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

Happy Holidays!
