The weather is getting colder, spirits are getting brighter and the music is getting festive! Now that it’s 110% acceptable to be blasting Christmas music all day, we’ve been busy filling our Spotify playlist with the best holiday songs out there.

10. Wonderful Christmastime – Paul McCartney

Even though it may not be the most favorite among the group, let’s be honest here, you know you want to sing along.

9. “Holly Jolly Christmas” – Michael Bublé

With a voice like velvet, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got a little Bublé rocking on your playlist.

8. “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” – Brenda Lee

Great for dancing!

6. (Tied for sixth) “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow” – Dean Martin

A must-have for your cozy nights in.

6. (Tied for sixth) “Jingle Bell Rock” – Bobby Helms

Yep, we know you’ve had the Mean Girls version stuck in your head for years, but you can’t deny this classic!

4. (Tied for fourth) “Santa Tell Me” (Ariana Grande)

Who says a pop princess like Arina can’t do Christmas songs?

4. (Tied for fourth) “It’s Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas” – Perry Como

*Immediately plays song the second it begins to snow*

3. “Last Christmas” – Wham!

A true Christmas bop. Could probably listen to it all year, tbh.

2. “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” – Frank Sinatra

Okay, we know Michael Bublé has a voice like velvet, but this is absolutely heavenly.

1. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” – Mariah Carey (shocker)

No surprise here, move along. And check out the “Extra Festive” version before you go!

With a playlist like this ready to go, you’ll be an absolute hit at your next Christmas party. Happy holidays from Her Campus Carthage!
