When I think of the holidays, two things always come to mind: matching pajama sets—a tradition in my family—and, of course, holiday music. As soon as Thanksgiving is near, I switch up my soundtrack to something festive, cheerful, and seasonally appropriate.

This Spotify playlist is a collection of tracks that help me get into the holiday spirit. It’s a mix of my favorite classics (and some more modern tunes) from around the world. Whether you listen in an ugly sweater, while wrapping presents, or around the table with family and friends, I hope these songs bring as much joy to your holidays as they do to mine.

Happy holidays, and happy listening!
