There aren’t too many full holiday album releases this year, but there are many new songs!  Quite a few artists have re-released their Christmas records with bonus tracks too, and there were some new singles and music videos of old favorites that dropped here, which have us boppin’ around our Christmas tree!

We have compiled a list of some stand-out tracks that we wanted to share with you all! Each song is also available to either stream and/or buy on Apple Music, Amazon Music and Spotify.

I’ll be spending all day with my family; watching the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration and movies, opening gifts, eating yummy food and just enjoying each other’s company.  It’s a blessing to be with people you love, because it hasn’t been an easy year and there’s been way too much loss.

As the song says, “Someday soon, we all will be together, if the fates allow. Until then, we’ll have to muddle through somehow. So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.” I hope you cherish every happy moment you can and #StayMerry.
