Let’s be honest: if you hear “All I Want for Christmas Is You” one more time, you might actually side with the Grinch.

So here’s your fix — a fresh, modern playlist full of Christmas songs that aren’t the same five radio repeats.

These tracks still bring the holiday warmth, but with new voices, fresh sounds, and a little sparkle you haven’t heard a thousand times before.

Light your candles, pour that hot chocolate, and hit play — then browse EasyHolidayGifts.com to find something for everyone (from Grandma’s cozy throw to your cousin’s new mug).

🎶 1. “December Back 2 June” – Alicia Keys

Smooth, soulful, and classy — the perfect upgrade from Mariah when you want something equally powerful but less predictable.

🌨️ 2. “Snowman” – Sia

Delicate, emotional, and slightly quirky — Sia’s Christmas album Everyday Is Christmas is criminally underrated.

🔔 3. “Glittery” – Kacey Musgraves feat. Troye Sivan

Soft, sparkly, and romantic. The kind of song that makes you want to put fairy lights around your whole house.

☃️ 4. “Like It’s Christmas” – Jonas Brothers

Cheerful pop that doesn’t feel forced. Add it to your “family chaos while wrapping gifts” playlist.

🎁 5. “Cozy Little Christmas” – Katy Perry

A playful modern anthem for people who prefer champagne and pajamas to fancy parties.

🕯️ 6. “Christmas Always Finds Me” – Ingrid Andress

A beautifully written country-pop ballad that’ll quietly melt your heart.

🎄 7. “Christmas Tree Farm” – Taylor Swift

Pure nostalgia wrapped in melody. Imagine soft snow, twinkle lights, and cinnamon candles — that’s this song.

8. “Lonely Christmas” – Bryson Tiller feat. Justin Bieber & Poo Bear

For when you’re feeling reflective (or just vibing alone under the tree). Smooth R&B with holiday depth.

🧣 9. “Love This Christmas” – Rick Astley

Yes, that Rick Astley. Turns out he never gave up — even on Christmas. Retro, cheerful, and totally unexpected.

🪩 10. “Underneath the Tree” – Kelly Clarkson

Still pop, but powerful enough to compete with the classics — and it actually slaps.

🎶 11. “Hey Sis, It’s Christmas” – RuPaul feat. Markaholic

Instant party mode. Glitter, sass, and the most fun your living room will have this December.

💫 12. “25th” – Tori Kelly

That rich voice plus a jazzy groove — a modern gem that deserves more love.

🧤 13. “Not Another Christmas Song” – Blink-182

For the secretly festive rock fan. Silly, sarcastic, and surprisingly catchy.

🕊️14. “Every Day’s Like Christmas” – Kylie Minogue

It’s romantic, shimmering, and timeless. Ideal background music for gift wrapping or family dinners.

🍪15. “Puppy for Christmas” – Meghan Trainor

Fun, upbeat, and perfect for families — especially if there’s an actual puppy under the tree this year.

🎧 Bonus Tip: Make Your Own Cozy Mix

Mix these modern tracks with a few oldies you still secretly love — like “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by Sam Smith or “White Christmas” by Michael Bublé.

Then hit shuffle, light a candle, and let the music do its job: slow the world down for a while.

🎁 Set the Scene While You Listen

Because Christmas isn’t just about the playlist — it’s about the moment.

At EasyHolidayGifts.com, you’ll find everything you need to make it feel like the holidays again:

  • Warm throws and blankets for Grandma.
  • Candles and mugs for quiet movie nights.
  • Little thoughtful gifts for those relatives you only see once a year (and still want to impress).

Turn the music up, pour something warm, and let your home smell like cinnamon and peace.
