In my grumpier Grinch moments over Christmas, I get annoyed at the playlists and festive collections of songs that feature ‘Christmas’ songs that I don’t think count. Those songs that are slowed down versions of absolute tunes for festive adverts, but otherwise have no connection to December. To rectify the situation, I set about creating a proper playlist, and in 2017 released the first volume.

2021 saw Vol 2 released and now, just three short years later, I have released How a Christmas playlist should be done, Vol. 3.

This time there’s an eclectic selection of classics old and new, songs featured in movies and TV shows, as well as duets and rock bands doing unexpected covers. I love it, I hope you do too. I’m already working on volume 4.
