Christmas music has to be my favorite genre of all time. Between the soft, nostalgic melodies and the upbeat, joyful rhythms, Christmas music is hard to beat. I have been crafting my Christmas playlist for a few years now, and after years of perfecting it, here are my top 10 Christmas songs that encapsulate that Christmas magic (in no particular order):Â
