Whether you celebrate Christmas in July, decorate with lights as the leaves fall, or patiently wait until Thanksgiving dinner is cleared away, there’s always something special and nostalgic about playing Christmas music. Some songs have been with us for generations, while others are new and destined to become part of our cherished traditions, and of course, there are renditions that hold a special place as personal favorites.
While Michael Bublé and Mariah Carey are bound to serenade you from reels and radio stations worldwide, you might be on the lookout for new songs to vary your playlist. Fear not; we’ve got you covered!
Classical Crossover Magazine has curated a growing list of 100+ albums, tailor-made for the classical crossover fan. Hailing from Classical, Broadway or World music stars, these albums are poised to delight listeners.
