Christmas is coming. If you want to get yourself in the mood, music streaming providers such as Spotify or Apple Music have corresponding playlists ready. Since tastes are known to be different, there are Christmas melodies from very different genres. We present you a number of “Christmas carols” that you can start today to create a little festivity.
Just as Carnival or New Year’s Eve are special occasions for which there is suitable music, this also applies to Christmas. It doesn’t always have to be Helene Fischer (but it could). Hopefully the following music suggestions on Spotify and Apple Music show how differently you can interpret Christmas.
