“It’s that time of the year!” said in a very cliche tone. New Christmas music has begun releasing for 2020 and God knows we need it. After an unprecedented and chaotic election season, it is finally time to relax and bask in the joy that Christmas music has to offer. If you’re looking for Christmas music that isn’t the Michael Buble or Mariah Carey soundtrack, which I don’t know why you would be, but if so, I have just the playlist for you; with newly released music and some of your favorite well-known classics thrown in there.
I want to highlight the new tracks and albums you’ll hear on this playlist. Firstly, Tori Kelly’s Christmas album, A Tori Kelly Christmas. This is Kelly’s debut Christmas album and her soul and pop style is perfect for the season. She covers the classics like “Let it Snow” and introduces some new Christmas tunes like “25th” and “Gift That Keeps on Giving.”
The other new album that is featured on this playlist is Meghan Trainor’s A Very Trainor Christmas. This is also her debut Christmas album and it is just as joyful and energetic as her pop classics. She covers classics such as “This Christmas Song” and “Holly Jolly Christmas” and has original songs as well like “I Believe in Santa” and “Holidays.”
Other songs you’ll hear on the playlist are the Jonas Brothers’ new song “I Need You Christmas,” which has been all of our cries for help quite honestly, and some beautiful renditions of the classics from Jordan Smith, Ingrid Michaelson, PJ Morton, Norah Jones, and more!
