Hello, hello! I feel like I have been raving about holiday music this year.
An upbeat holiday tune never fails to heighten my mood, even on a dreaded Monday morning. If you haven’t been listening to holiday stations and songs throughout the month of December, what are you waiting for? They’re pretty enjoyable, y’all.
While I do appreciate the slower classics, I recently put together a fun workout-worthy playlist you can listen to at home, in the car, and even play during workouts and group exercise classes! Below you will find 21 awesome holiday jams you could also put on at your next holiday party.
Scroll down to give it a listen online!
(You can always access my public playlists on Spotify!)
I would bet that listening to even one of those songs made you smile and/or gave you a reason to break out your “jazz hands”. If this type of music doesn’t put you in the holiday spirit, I don’t know what will. Maybe a go see a show? I’m excited for Cirque Dreams tonight with Scott and friends.
Sorry to make it short, but I need to get going. See you in the morning!
Question of the Afternoon
• What is your all-time favorite holiday song?
I have too many. I love Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree (<- fun video that brings be right back to my childhood), mainly because it reminds me of growing up watching Home Alone! I’ve also been loving Holiday a cappella music over the past few years. O Holy Night gets me every time!
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West
I am with you on the holiday tunes! I’ve never worked out to them though. Happy Thursday, Heather:)
Heather
It’s fun to throw on every now and then!
Lauren @ The Bikini Experiment
Thanks for the suggestions! I love so many that it is very hard to pick. I am totally in love with Michael Buble’s Let it Snow right now. 🙂
Heather
Love his holiday music <3
Chrissy @Pink Polish and Running Shoes
I love Rascal Flatt’s version of Jingle Bell Rock. That is definitely on my iPhone. I’m also obsessed with any holiday music sung by Michael Buble, Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is my favorite.
Heather
I love Rascal Flatts so much! Michael Buble has great holiday songs. I loved seeing him in concert!
Courtney @ Alkeks Abroad
My favorite Christmas song is “Christmas” (Baby Please Come Home), especially the Michael Buble version. Also, have you seen the ABC Family movie “Mistletones” it’s cheesy but so cute and has great music!
Heather
No, I haven’t! Sounds like I need to check it out. Thanks 🙂

I’m not really a huge fan of holiday music, unless I really really like the singer, like Colbie Caillat. But I think I may have heard that song by Leona Lewis at work, and it wasn’t bad 🙂

Fun post!
I love love anything by Trans Siberian Orchestra but my all time favorite Christmas song is Santa Claus Is Coming to Town by Bruce Springstein.
Heather
Love Trans Siberian Orchestra and Mannheim Steamroller!
