Set The Tone

For the best Christmas party playlist, you must have songs from all generations and genres. Sometimes you want a little background music, and sometimes you want all your guests to simultaneously burst into song. There are beautiful little jewels of Christmas light in all holiday songs—you just have to find the right ones! Here are my absolute favorite Christmas songs.
