The season for holiday gatherings has begun. Maybe you�re hosting something at your home, or maybe you�re that person who insists on taking over the aux cord everywhere you go. Either way, it�s important to have a playlist prepared. With Gwen Stefani, John Legend and RuPaul all hopping on the Christmas album gravy train in 2018, there�s plenty of new jams to turn on as the turkey�s cooking. Play Mariah Carey�s �All I Want for Christmas� between each of the brand new songs listed below, and you�ve got yourself the perfect holiday party playlist.
The Recreated Classics
For when your guests first arrive. You�re setting the mood with something familiar, without looking like you�re trying too hard.
�White Christmas� by Eric Clapton
(Mostly guitars, a few vocals. And a great animated video.)
�What Christmas Means to Me� by John Legend ft. Stevie Wonder
(I assumed this new track was off John Legend�s fifth Christmas album or something. Apparently, his recently released A Legendary Christmas is his first one.)
�Rockin Around the Christmas Tree� by Pentatonix
(You can always count of these guys. Read our interview with the a cappella group, where we touch on their favourite Christmas gifts and who they�d like to meet under the mistletoe.)
The Sad Supper Songs
For when you�re sitting down to stuff your face. Low and slow is the way to go when guests are making small talk between mouthfuls of food.
�Come Out and Play� by Billie Eilish
(The teen queen of melancholy music, Apple Music �Up Next� artist, sings a sprawling holiday ballad for Apple�s new holiday �Share Your Gifts� campaign.)
�Lonely Man of Winter� by Sufjan Stevens
(A Christmas song from the guy who sang your favourite tracks on the Call My By Your Name soundtrack.)
�Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas� by Ingrid Michaelson
(She also does a version of Mariah Carey�s �All I Want for Christmas� that will make you want to cry. I didn�t know that was possible!)
The Turn Up Tunes
To cure your food coma, brew a pot of coffee and grab a bottle of Bailey�s � it�s time to party.
�I Am The Grinch� by Tyler the Creator ft. Fletcher Jones
(It�s what �You�re a Mean One Mr. Grinch� sounds like in 2018.)
�You Make it Feel Like Christmas� by Gwen Stefani ft. Blake Sheldon
(Much like the unlikely coupling of Stefani and Sheldon, this is a high-energy holiday pop song is something you never knew you needed.)
�Hey Sis, It�s Christmas� by RuPaul ft. Markaholic
(This is just one song from RuPaul�s Christmas album. So you could also just scrap this list and download that.)
