With the holiday season upon us (and exams breathing down our necks), chances are your iPod is in need of some holiday song updates. Never fear! Her Campus has the tunes for all your Christmas needs.
 

For those who can’t get enough of Michael Bublé’s irresistible voice or simply love jazzy pop, we have the perfect Christmas CD for you. Michael Bublé released a Christmas album in October, just in time for the holiday season. The CD is comprised of Michael doing his own take on classic Christmas classics. I recommend his version of “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.” You can check out the entire list at http://www.michaelbuble.com/musicstore.
 

For those searching for a more alternative sound, you’re in luck! She & Him recently released “A Very She & Him Christmas.” Similar to Zooey Deschanel’s clothing style, the album has a retro feel. Zooey’s mellifluous voice gives traditional Christmas songs a sweet twist, and the album is a great way to get into the holiday spirit!
 
In addition to these two melodious Christmas albums, here are more playlist ideas for a variety of holiday tunes!
