If you’re like some of us here at The Enchanted Conservatory, then you started listening to Christmas music in October and probably don’t need this list. But if you DO need a playlist or you’re just curious what kind of Christmas songs tickle our fancy, read on. You won’t find any sad songs about mothers dying or folksy type songs that make you want to claw your eardrums out. These are our all-time favorites that bring to mind snowfall, glittering lights, laughter and romance. The exact vibe we want to channel this time of year.
