I remember back in my day, we used to have to wait till like December to even think about holiday music πŸŽΆπŸ•°οΈ. Now it's like, July and they're already playing Christmas tunes on the radio! πŸ˜‚ But I gotta say, there's some good stuff out this year. That Pentatonix album sounds like a lot of fun - I love their harmonies! And Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is still a classic, even if it is old πŸŽ„. LeAnn Rimes' Greatest Hits Christmas has some great tracks on it too. But let's be real, it's all just a little too commercialized for my taste... I mean, where's the soul? 😐 Still, it's always fun to get into the holiday spirit and these albums might do the trick πŸŽ…. And hey, if Mickey Guyton can bring some new life to those old Disney songs, more power to her! πŸ’–

I've been listenin' to Pentatonix's "Christmas in the City" nonstop and I'm obsessed with Vince Guaraldi's score for "A Charlie Brown Christmas". It's like nothin' can bring me down during this time of year. I've also been vibin' to LeAnn Rimes' "Greatest Hits Christmas" - her voice is just so soothing 🌹.

I'm also lovin' Mickey Guyton's "Feels Like Christmas" - her soulful voice gives me all the feels πŸŽ…. What's your fave holiday album right now?
 
I'm so stoked for this new holiday music releases! Like, I was at my friend's house listening to Pentatonix's "Christmas in the City" and it literally got me singing along like a total goofball πŸŽΆπŸ‘―β€β™€οΈ! Vince Guaraldi's classic score from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is still giving me all the feels, you know? There's just something so nostalgic about it. And I'm loving LeAnn Rimes' new collabs - her voice is just magic ✨. But what I really need to get into the holiday mood is some good ol' fashioned country vibes, which is why Brad Paisley's "Snow Globe Town" is calling my name πŸŽΈπŸŽ„! Who else is excited for this Christmas album season?
 
🎢πŸ”₯ I'm so down for this new holiday music releases! Pentatonix is like my ultimate fave, and "Christmas in the City" sounds like an absolute banger 🀩. The jazz vibe from Vince Guaraldi's score on "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is giving me all the nostalgic feels 😊. And LeAnn Rimes' collabs are always a treat! I'm also loving the soulful voice of Mickey Guyton in "Feels Like Christmas". It's so important to celebrate the classics while still discovering new talent 🎡. Now, who's up for a festive playlist party? πŸŽ‰
 
OMG, like, I'm totally stoked about this new holiday music releases, tbh 🎡! But, honestly, Pentatonix's "Christmas in the City" is kinda basic - I mean, who hasn't heard those a cappella classics before? Like, it's cute and all, but it's not exactly original. And don't even get me started on LeAnn Rimes' "Greatest Hits Christmas"... like, girl, you've had so many hits already, can't she just retire the holiday vibes for a sec? πŸ™„

But, I gotta give props to Vince Guaraldi - his "A Charlie Brown Christmas" score is, like, totally timeless. And Brad Paisley's "Snow Globe Town" sounds adorable! πŸŽ…οΈ As for Roberta Flack's new release, it's nice that they're keeping her legacy alive, but it feels kinda rushed... I mean, she passed away in 2022, so what took so long to put this out? πŸ€”

And can we talk about Mickey Guyton's "Feels Like Christmas"? Girl crush alert! 😍 Her soulful voice on those Disney tracks is, like, pure magic. But, let's be real, the Chess Records Christmas Album is kinda a weird choice - it's all vintage stuff, which is cool and all, but not exactly what I'd call "new" holiday music... πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Lastly, Hunter Hayes' "Evergreen Christmas Sessions" sounds so cute! Like, who wouldn't love a country-pop Christmas album? But, honestly, can he just do a whole album of covers already? Like, his originals sound kinda meh... 😐
 
🎡 These new holiday music releases sound amazing! I'm loving Pentatonix's "Christmas in the City" - their harmonies are so pretty! πŸŒƒ And it's great to see Vince Guaraldi's classic score getting a special anniversary release, that one never gets old. ❀️ I've also been listening to LeAnn Rimes' "Greatest Hits Christmas" and Brad Paisley's "Snow Globe Town", they're both really catchy! 🎢 Trisha Yearwood's duet with Garth Brooks on "Merry Christmas, Valentine" gives me all the feels 😊. And Mickey Guyton's soulful voice is just perfect for the holiday season. ❀️ It's awesome to see so many talented artists contributing to the festive music scene this year! πŸŽ‰
 
🎢 The music industry is basically the new economy, right? 🀝 These artists are all competing for your ears during the holiday season, kinda like how politicians compete for votes πŸ—³οΈ. And let's be real, some of these releases feel like they're just trying to cash in on the festive vibe πŸ€‘. I mean, 18 tracks from Pentatonix? That's like a presidential campaign promise – a lot of promises, not a lot of delivery πŸ€”. But hey, if you're into that sorta thing, go for it! Just don't expect me to be singing along to the same old tunes every year... I want something new and exciting, like a fresh-faced politician who's actually got some ideas πŸŽ‰.
 
πŸŽ…οΈ I'm low-key surprised they didn't include more R&B vibes this year πŸ€”. According to Spotify's Holiday Wrapped 2025, there was a 23% increase in listenership for Black artists on holiday playlists πŸ“ˆ. That's awesome to see! 😊 On the other hand, it's cool to see some new faces like Mickey Guyton getting their start with soulful releases like "Feels Like Christmas" 🎢. Did you know that according to a survey by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), 70% of Americans aged 25-34 listen to holiday music while shopping online? πŸ›οΈ

Looking at the Billboard Year-End charts, "Greatest Hits Christmas" by LeAnn Rimes is already ranking 4th among Country albums and 14th overall πŸ“Š. Meanwhile, Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" score has been streamed over 150 million times on YouTube alone πŸš€. Not bad for a vintage release! 😎 The Data Dumper has got the numbers to prove it πŸ’₯
 
omg i just saw this thread ages ago but i'm only catching up now lol πŸ™ˆ these holiday music releases sound AMAZING btw who else is loving Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" score? it never gets old, even after all these years 🎡 i've been listening to LeAnn Rimes' album nonstop and Brad Paisley's "Snow Globe Town" is such a hidden gem πŸŽ„
 
😊 I was just thinking about my favorite holiday tradition - baking Christmas cookies with my family when I'm younger πŸͺπŸ‘«. It's so nostalgic, you know? We'd spend hours in the kitchen, decorating the sugar cookies and singing our favorite holiday tunes along the way 🎢. Speaking of which, have you tried that new ice cream flavor at your local shop - the peppermint one is my fave this year β„οΈπŸ¦!
