Christmas 2025 Playlist

My favorite time of year is Christmas. The weather, the food, the family; it’s the perfect combination of joy. Unfortunately, I am one of the people that starts listening to Christmas music in September. I’ve been building my holiday playlist for years, so here are some of my favorites to get you in the holiday spirit.

You Make It Feel Like Christmas - Gwen Stefani (feat. Blake Shelton

I discovered this song last year, despite it being released in 2017. I love how upbeat the music is, and the lyrics are really catchy. It’s become one of my favorites. If you’re looking for a song to get you in a happy spirit this holiday season, this is the one for you!

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

This song is a classic. It’s probably the first song you thought of when I told you I was going to share my favorite Christmas songs. Some people may think it’s overplayed, but I love how it sparks a spirit in everyone in the room with only the first note. It’ll always be the first one played when the season begins.

Drummer Boy - Justin Bieber (feat. Busta Rhymes)

Justin Bieber + Christmas = Perfect. This song is probably the one that makes me the happiest. For me, it brings back memories from when I lived back home and belted out the lyrics with my sister. It’s the perfect mix of pop and holiday! If you’re looking for a song that will instantly put you in a good mood, this is the one.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas - Michael Buble

There’s nothing like sitting by the fire with a nice hot cup of cocoa and listening to Michael Buble. This is another classic. I think this song is one of my favorites because it’s so calming and puts me in a chill holiday mood. Next time you’re feeling overwhelmed during the holiday season, sit back and relax with this calming song.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - Sam Smith

The song itself is a classic, but Sam Smith’s rendition of it has to be my favorite. His vocals are beautiful, in my opinion, and it’s one I love to sing along to. Sam Smith doesn’t have many Christmas songs; in fact, I think there’s only two that he’s released. But I’m glad he chose this one to feature because his version of it is mesmerizing.

Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano

This song just puts me in such a good mood. It’s so upbeat and encapsulates exactly how I want to feel during the holiday season. This may be an unpopular opinion, but this song is definitely one of my favs for this time of year.
