Sleigh bells ringing, lords a’leaping, dreidels spinning, candles glowing: The holiday season is full of magic and light. But our absolute favorite part may just be the music. We count down the days until that magical Friday in November when, Thanksgiving safely stowed away until next year, we can let our festive flags fly.

It’s a testament to how much we love Christmas (and Chanukah!) carols that we’re on our fourth Z&S holiday playlist, and we still haven’t run out of holiday tunes. From classics to modern tracks, silky smooth jazz to pop confections, country divas to college a capella groups made good, there’s something in here for everyone (including a record number of Chanukah songs!). We hope that whether you find yourself home for the holidays or celebrating solo, among friends or at work, on the couch or an exotic isle somewhere, the spirit of the season finds you, filling you with all those good, twinkly, warm, fuzzy feels. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, after all. You’ve got to make it count.

As always, you can listen along here, on YouTube, or on Spotify.
