Get In The Spirit: The Best Holiday Themed Songs

Michele Dec 12, 2011

The holiday season is in full force with bright lights, decorations, and most of all the music. It's nearly impossible to escape holiday music with stores and radio stations already breaking out their best themed tracks.

Various bands over the years have released their own holiday themed songs or covered some of the most well-known hits and jingles. From "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to "Santa Baby" and "This Christmas Song;" you name it and there is most likely a cover out there.

Not only are there countless holiday cover songs, there are also a bunch of original tracks that range from comical parodies to acoustic love songs.

Holiday themed music knows no genre and a classic song can be reinvented again and again with bands and artists giving it their own twist. Whether you prefer a classic cover song or something new you haven't heard, the holidays will continue to be a popular theme for music in the future.

Check out the top ten songs every holiday music playlist needs to get you in the spirit this winter:
