Playlist: the new songs for CHRISTMAS 2024 and the historical ones

Music news

Christmas is upon us, and what better way to get into the festive spirit than by accompanying the traditional tree decoration with a tailor-made soundtrack?

This year, the Christmas playlist is doubled, offering over 40 songs of pure festive atmosphere: one dedicated to new releases and the other to the great classics that never go out of fashion.

The first part of the selection celebrates the new generation Christmas songs, released this year, with contemporary artists who reinterpret Christmas with freshness and creativity. From pop tones to indie influences, passing through songs that mix tradition and modernity, this collection is perfect for those who want to experience a Christmas that keeps up with the times without giving up the magic.

The other half of the playlist is dedicated to period pieces, the ones that immediately conjure up images of dim lights, lit fireplaces and family laughter. Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Mariah Carey and many other iconic performers will accompany you with melodies that are part of the DNA of the Christmas holidays.

This soundtrack is the perfect ally for every moment of the holidays: from decorating the tree to preparing biscuits or simply relaxing with a hot chocolate in hand. Let yourself be carried away by the notes, old and new, and make your Christmas even more musical and special.
