Best festive music suggestions.....creating an Advent Spotify playlist!

[Christobel51]

Last year me and my siblings had a Whatsapp group of Festive Advent Music. Every day one of us suggested a new tune for us all to enjoy and then out them into a Spotify play list at the end. It was good fun and I'd like to do the same with them this year, however I fear I may have used up all my best suggestions last year.!!!
So please, hit me with your favourite festive music, pop, rock classical, choral...anything goes which I can share with my family! Thanks🎄❄️🎅🏻

If you’re after something different, I love some of the pieces of music from the Polar Express film, specifically a song called “Seeing Is Believing” by Alan Silverstri. The Polar Express album is on Spotify

I also love Frank Sinatra’s “The Christmas Waltz”.

Cold plays " oh christmas lights" is pretty and not an obvious song people think about.

What did you have last year?

Enko....I've just discovered Coldplays Christmas song but I only listened to the beginning as it didn't grab me!
