As much as we love Christmas music, sometimes we just want to listen to a playlist that feels on-theme for the winter, without listening to different versions of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" over and over. The B+C team put their favorite winter songs together to create a playlist that will get you in a cold-weather mood but that you can still play after New Year's Day.
To make the list, the songs had to match at least one of these criteria:
- Winter, snow/ice, or a winter month must be mentioned in the title or a lyric. Warming up by a fire is also acceptable.
- The song must be winter-themed.
- Sweaters, sweatshirts, or other winter clothing must be mentioned in the lyrics.
- The song must sound the way it feels to be wrapped in a blanket.
Stream this playlist on your commute, in the background during dinner, or while you're relaxing with your fuzzy socks and hot chocolate. Keep reading to see if your favorite songs made the list and listen to the playlist here.
