Ultimate Christmas Music Collection

There are very few things that make me feel more Christmassy than Christmas songs. I could just give you a list of some of my favorite Christmas songs, but where is the fun in that, right?! So here is an ultimate Christmas music collection that spans decades, countries, and genres, and reflects my actual Christmas playlists on Spotify.
