Much like a movie, Christmas has its own soundtrack. There are certain songs for cooking up a holiday feast, certain songs for spending time with family, and songs for opening your christmas gifts on the morning of your holiday. However, the one problem with Christmas music is that you tend to hear it all the time, everywhere you go, especially the popular songs.
Not that this is bad, but it can get very dull very quickly when you hear the same songs over and over again. If you are hosting a lot of holiday parties or going to a lot of events, you will need to pump up your holiday playlists to give your guests something to really listen to. Here are some of the best ways to add some new music to a classic holiday!
Add New Covers Of Old Songs
For starters, Christmas music really hasn’t seen anything new. Sure there are a few new songs that pop up every now and again, but for the most part the songs are the same and are simply given new artists and renditions. So don’t be afraid to look at the massive history of holiday songs and find some of your favorite covers of old songs. Whether you find your favorite songs sung by the latest and greatest in the music industry or you want the classic singers singing classic songs, you will find them!
It can be interesting to find how the renditions of a song have changed through the ages, and can certainly help keep your playlist interesting!
Look For New Cultures To Enhance Your Music
Christmas around the world isn’t a new theme, and cultures around the world celebrate the holiday in various ways. There are countless pieces of music as well that you can listen to from cultures all over the world. Not just regional covers of traditional songs, but also totally new pieces of music that shed an insight into the traditions that the rest of the world has.
Add In Some Instrumental Pieces
Finally, while many Christmas songs are focused on vocals and singers, there is something magical and ambient about listening to some instrumental holiday tunes. Whether you want to listen to an acoustic guitar, a piano, or an orchestral arrangement of some wonderful holiday songs, you can add some magic to your holiday playlist by simply removing the vocals and finding joy in the instrumentals.
Pick The Songs You Like
Finally, while every single Christmas playlist might have the staple holiday songs, don’t be afraid to find the various songs that you like. Even if they aren’t popular, you will get a smile whenever you start listening to them, and that is all that matters.
