Christmas & Winter Rotation Playlists

+ 2023 playlist roundup

Hello, hello. I’m slowly but surely working on a list of my favorite albums list of 2023. I’ve been posting them one by one over on my Instagram, Twitter & Threads pages and will share the full list here once it’s complete. My 2023: 💯 Favorite Songs playlist is also complete, but I’ll talk more about that next time. Until then, here are a few playlists for you!

Christmas Rotation. 🎄

Here’s a giant Christmas playlist that I’ve been adding to for the last 12 years! It’s got a little bit of everything, but if you’re looking for that one Mariah Carey song you’ll want to look elsewhere. Here are some of the new songs from this year that I’ve included. Some originals & some covers:

• Diners - Your Eyes Look Like Christmas

• Du Blonde - It’s Christmas and I’m Crying

• Fenne Lily - Christmas Alone

• High Tropics - All I Need This Christmas

• Lunar Vacation - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

• Matthew Logan Vasquez - Last Christmas

• Middle Kids - Driving Home For Christmas

• Ronnie Martin - Holly on the Bough

• Wife Patrol - Christmas ‘96

Winter Rotation. ❄️

I know we are a few days shy of it of it being officially winter, but I’ll be busy on the 21st so it seemed best to share this now. With all of my seasonal rotation playlists, I try to make a solid mix of new and classic songs. You’ll see songs from this year that fit the bill perfectly:

• a.s.o. - Cold Feeling

• Blonde Redhead - Snowman

• Del Paxton - 100 Words For Snow

• Florry - Big Winter

• The Lemon Twigs - When Winter Comes Around

• Local Natives - Desert Snow

• Mitski - When Memories Snow

• Scott McMicken and THE EVER-EXPANDING - Diamonds in the Snow

• The Natvral - Wintergreen

• The New Pornograhpers - Firework in the Falling Snow

• Wildermiss - New Year’s

• Woods - White Winter Melody

These tracks are surrounded by songs by Fleet Foxes, Weyes Blood, Bruce Springsteen, TOPS, Jimmy Eat World, Bob Dylan, Fountains of Wayne & more!

Please let me know if there’s a song you like that you haven’t heard before on either of these playlists!
