How many days until Christmas?
We’re finally over the threshold known as December 1st, which means we’re officially into ‘The Most Wonderful Time of the Year’ and can start celebrating the run up to the big day, Thursday 25th December 2025. So, get your Christmas jumpers on, start decorating the Christmas tree, and chuck on your new favourite Christmas playlist to truly get into the festive spirit!
Christmas music
Check out our free Xmas playlist on Spotify or skim over a few of our favourites below. We’ve split them into Christmas classics, new and trending hits, and subtle and relaxing winter tunes, so no matter how hard you sleigh Christmas… there’s something for everyone.
Whether you’re a ‘Die Hard’ Christmas lover, who always relives the classics:
- Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) – Darlene Love
- I Wish It Could be Christmas Everyday – Wizzard
- Do They Know It’s Christmas? – Band Aid
- Last Christmas – Wham!
Or more into modern Christmas-pop:
- Misteltoe – Justin Bieber
- Santa Tell Me – Ariana Grande
- A Nonsense Christmas – Sabrina Carpenter
- One More Sleep – Leona Lewis
We’ve got you covered!
We also know Christmas can be a hard and emotional season for many. So let yourself embrace all the feels with some gentle, melancholic songs, for when the ‘happiest season of all’ just feels a bit too much:
- Blue Christmas – Elvis Presley
- Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call – Bleachers
- Lonely This Christmas – Mud
Or mix up your listening session with some wintery songs that give all the Christmas vibes, without actually mentioning it:
- You Make Me Feel So Young – Frank Sinatra
- Both Sides Now – Joni Mitchell (sorry Love Actually fans! We’re still crying over Emma Thompson too… )
- God Only Knows – The Beach Boys
Speaking of not mentioning the big day… did you know these hugely popular Christmas songs, aren’t actually Christmas songs? None of them mention the word ‘Christmas’! Okay, ‘Stop The Cavalry’ might use it just once, but we still think it counts!
- Stay Another Day – East 17
- Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! – Dean Martin
- Stop The Cavalry – Jona Lewie
