Listen to the playlist on Spotify here!
The Christmas spruce is twinkling, the lords are a-leaping and the scent of mulled wine and cinnamon has penetrated your nostrils with more gusto than a lateral flow. Here. For. It. There’s only one left thing to do: hit play on these catchy Crimbo earworms and be grateful your Spotify Wrapped has been and gone.
From the dulcet tones of Frank Sinatra to the modern Christmas hits from Ariana Grande and songs from the movies, here’s 100 Christmas jingles to fill your heart and your eardrums with festive spirit. Unless you work in retail of course, in which case you’d probably rather chew barbed wire than sit through another one of Mariah Carey whistle notes.
PS out of respect to Emma Thompson, this playlist contains no Joni Mitchell.
