So much goes into hosting a holiday party. It’s not just about food and drinks, but holiday party ambiance. Of course decorations and a tree are important, but two things that are often overlooked that I think are a nice touch are one, having a good playlist of music going and two, having some great holiday movings playing on the tv (with no sound of course!)
Christmas songs don’t change much throughout the years, but what does change is the artists who sing them. There will always be the classics such as Frank Sinatra, but if you are looking for a modern playlist with current artists, I put this list together with just that. Make a playlist on itunes, set it to repeat and hit play and then party the night away!
Rockin Around the Christmas Tree – Glee Cast
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer – Mary J. Blige
Holly Jolly Christmas – Michael Buble
Santa Claus is coming to town – Mariah Carey

Having some great movies on in the background just helps further set the holiday mood. If you don’t want to play them at your party, they are still good to watch curled up on the couch nursing your hangover the next day!
