Create a great play list for your Christmas Party with my list of classic Christmas music. A great mix will add to the enjoyment of your guests at your holiday gathering.
This is a long list, and should get you through a 3-hour party. I have always enjoyed the playlists that are ten or so songs long, but most of my gatherings are longer than 30 minutes, so they don’t carry me through the evening. And even though “Holly Jolly Christmas” is a fantastic song, you may incite riots by playing it 5 times in one night.
The following songs are a mix of Christmas classics, instrumentals, and a few are just downright fun.
