The 9 Best Christmas Songs to Put on Your XMAS SPIN (2026 Playlist)
Nine records. Nine songs. That’s the fun (and the challenge) of XMAS SPIN.
Because you load the music yourself, every XMAS SPIN ends up a little different. Some families go full classic, some go pop, and some let the kids take over completely. But if you’re staring at nine empty records and don’t know where to start, we’ve got you.
Here’s our pick for the perfect XMAS SPIN lineup, one song per record.
Record 1: “All I Want for Christmas Is You” – Mariah Carey
Let’s be honest, this one was always going to be first. It’s the song that officially starts the season for millions of people, and it’s impossible not to sing along. Perfect for the moment you put XMAS SPIN on the fridge for the first time.
Record 2: “White Christmas” – Bing Crosby
The most classic Christmas song there is. Slow, warm and nostalgic. This is the record for snowy mornings, a cup of coffee and a quiet kitchen before everyone wakes up.
Record 3: “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” – Brenda Lee
Upbeat, fun and made for decorating. Put this record on while you’re hanging ornaments or baking cookies and watch everyone start moving.
Record 4: “Last Christmas” – Wham!
A little bittersweet, very catchy and a guaranteed hit with anyone who grew up in the ’80s (or anyone who’s ever been on the internet in December).
Record 5: “Jingle Bell Rock” – Bobby Helms
Pure holiday energy. This is the record kids grab first, and the one parents secretly love just as much.
Record 6: “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” – Andy Williams
Big, bright and joyful. It sounds exactly like Christmas feels when everything is going right.
Record 7: “Feliz Navidad” – José Feliciano
Easy to sing, impossible to stay in a bad mood. Great for family dinners and busy kitchens full of people.
Record 8: “A Holly Jolly Christmas” – Burl Ives
Cozy, cheerful and timeless. The kind of song that makes the whole house feel warmer.
Record 9: Your wild card
Leave the last record for something only your family has. A song from your wedding. A carol Grandma always sang. A recording of the kids singing “Jingle Bells” off-key. A voice message from someone far away.
This is the record that turns XMAS SPIN from a cute gadget into something you’ll keep bringing out every Christmas.
