40 Must Have Christmas Songs For Your Playlist

The Holiday season is in full swing and I personally start playing my Christmas music on Halloween. Christmas music is the root of the holiday season. Some say that singing is like praying twice to God.

Music makes us all feel happy and sad and brings back memories from the past. I can almost guarantee that everyone has one song that they hear that brings back a childhood memory. I’m not a music expert, however, I know a good song when I hear it.

There are a lot of Mariah Carey songs on my list because she is the Queen of Christmas! Mariah has written several songs that have become new Christmas classics like, “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, “Oh Santa” and “One Child”.

Here is a list of 40 must have Christmas songs for your holiday playlist. This will put a spring into your step and Christmas cheer in your heart!
