We've decided to have a Christmas cocktail party as our housewarming!!! The decorator is coming in next week which means all the rooms will be ready!!! So now my tasks are to make the cocktail menu and the playlist. We're keeping it vintage as that's the style of the house and what we like. So if anyone has suggestions of Christmas songs that would fit flick them my way! That Apple Music subscription will be earning it's keep. I just found a band called "Straight no Chaser" and their Christmas stuff is awesome!!!

Most of my Christmas playlist is oldies :pac: Here are a few good ones.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Rockin Around the Christmas Tree

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Andy Williams

Winter Wonderland - Perry Como

Let It Snow! - Dean Martin

Here Comes Santa Clause - Elvis Presley

I Like a Sleighride (Jingle Bells) - Peggy Lee

I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake

Sleigh Ride - Harry Connick Jr

The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole (my favourite!)

Ah I feel all Christmassy now, I'm going to have to listen to the whole playlist

Cheers! I might share my apple music playlist when it's ready... I think it's like Spotify that way.

I was just going to ask if you have Spotify! I'm in the middle of making some playlists and have one with a lot of older songs on it. I'll put the link here anyway but I'll put up some YouTube links later for those who don't have Spotify

I actually don't have Spotify, I can't stand it for some reason. I took against it years ago and never tried it again. I do like the new Apple Music though, and as far as I know you can share playlists there. If not, I use 8Tracks to share playlists too. You can basically just make a "mix tape" and share the link.

be cool to see some folks playlists alright!!

Edit: just clicked in to your list Alicat- it looks so enticing I might have to open a spotify account to check it out!

Hey Baby & Crumble, I have Apple Music and you can share playlists on them. I'll share my playlist in the next day or two once I've finish building it haha.

baby and crumble

Yeah I just checked. Apparently if you add music to them as you go it gets reflected in the list of anyone who is using it too. So that's good.

Ha thanks. About 20 years of thought in my one. Originally had it on iTunes but then not all were on Spotify but they had a few that iTunes doesn't.

I am not itunes savy so dont know how to have a look at them. I also cannot download itunes on my work laptop.

I have the home alone soundtrack lined up for my flight back to the desert so I have something to look forward to.

Spotify has a great playlist covering Xmas No1s, obviously they have some Xmas songs on there, but they also have the numbers 1s that weren't traditional Xmas songs, which can be quiet nice if you associate a certain song with Xmas as it was released around that time.

This is my "alternative" Christmas list. Some lesser-known tracks and some that just feel sort of "wintery" rather than having a real Christmas connection: Spotify link. I think it's nice to have variety from the songs we all know and love.

Mars Bar

I have one here that is nearly 500 songs long!

Only 7 weeks til the day itself so it's more than acceptable to start getting in the mood.

Edit: just realised it's only 6 weeks. Hurrrah
