The Holidays are just around the corner, and that means holiday music and gatherings and relaxing time to enjoy the season. And we want to help you get yourself all set.

In the spirit of Booze and Vinyl and other music and drink pairing sets, we’ve got a list of 10 Holiday Songs and Drinks that you can put together over the festive season.

We have included non-alcoholic drinks in this list because not everything has to be about booze. If you’re hosting a holiday gathering, please remember that and provide non-alcoholic beverages – and we don’t mean mix. Put together a selection of flavoured teas, grab some cranberry ginger ale, buy the fancy hot chocolate, warm up the apple cider, and make sure everyone (young and old) is included.

The hardest part of building this list was choosing the songs. There are so many wonderful holiday tracks to listen to. Contemporary and classic. Fast and slow. Sincere and silly.

In the end, we had to choose 10. But we’d like to know what holiday songs you love most, so please leave a comment to tell us. And include links too so we can all go find ’em.

Now, onto the list. Check out the pairings, hit play to listen to the songs. And have a happy holiday season.
