Happy Holidays, honeybees! It’s officially that time of the year when we cozy up near the fireplace and listen to our favorite holiday releases of the season. This year, we’re starting the season with some really great names – Meghan Trainor and Leon Bridges, to name a few. We can’t wait to hear what our faves have in store for us, including classic Christmas song covers and new original songs we’re definitely adding to our holiday time playlists.
Here are some new holiday songs, EPs, and albums we’ve been loving so far this season:
The Gift Of Love (Extended Holiday Edition) – Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson singing Christmas songs is only right. The Gift Of Love features all of our favorite classic Christmas songs from ‘Jingle Bells’ to ‘Winter Wonderland’ and ‘Go Tell It On The Mountain.’ Can Jennifer herself come Christmas caroling at our front door this year!?

‘Gifts For Me’ – Meghan Trainor
Meghan Trainor brings the ultimate pop-girl anthems to the holiday season! ‘Gifts For Me’ is certainly a gift for us this year. If Barbie put on a sparkling red dress and grabbed the mic under the mistletoe, it would be Meghan Trainor. If you need an excuse to buy yourself a little gift this season, let Meghan inspire you to do so with this new song. We know it helped lift our spirits!
“For me, the holidays have always been about joy, sparkle, and celebrating the people we love. ‘Gifts for Me’ is my fun, festive way of spreading that energy. It’s also a reminder to treat yourself a little, too! I hope it brings everyone the same cozy, happy vibes I felt while making it with my girls Emily Bear and Nicole ‘KOLE’ Cohen.”

‘Hot Cocoa’ – Gwen Stefani
We always love an original holiday song sung by pop icon, Gwen Stefani. If you prefer a holiday song that gets you up and dancing around the tree, then ‘Hot Cocoa’ is for you. Kisses, mistletoe, silver bells, marshmallows, and all the sweetest things about this time of year are packed into this new song.

My Only Wish – David Archuleta
We’ve been waiting for David Archuleta to release a full original Christmas EP! On My Only Wish, we’re getting five holiday songs from ‘Sleigh Ride’ to ‘Winter In The Air.’ Another gift? Jordan Sparks is featured, and with that dazzling voice, who can resist a listen? We certainly cannot!
“For the My Only Wish EP, I wanted to write holiday music that was more in the space of where I’m at in life. I wanted it to be fun and flirty and to make people just feel good. I’m really really happy with how these new songs turned out and I feel like it will be a whole new yet familiar experience for fans who have always enjoyed my Christmas music and shows.”

Bella Rios is our girl (if you know you know), and we’re always here to support her latest releases, especially if there’s a hint of holiday spirit. Don’t forget to also stream her rendition of ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ released last week. She’s got all the hits!

‘This Christmas I’m Coming Home’ And ‘A Merry Black Christmas’ – Leon Bridges
No matter what, we’ll always be listening to Leon Bridges. If we’re happy, sad, anxious, or even just in need of a little holiday mood boost. His latest drop, ‘This Christmas I’m Coming Home,’ opens with a signature piano solo, followed by the gorgeous vocals of Norah Jones. These two singers together have our ears melting in delight! Double it up with ‘A Merry Black Christmas’ that also gives fans Leon’s gorgeous raspy voice over holiday drums.

‘Skip My House’ – Coco Jones
Santa, please do not skip Coco Jones’ house this year! She needs all the gifts after giving us ‘Skip My House,’ a sultry R&B holiday track. If you’re (unfortunately) breaking up with someone this holiday season, ‘Skip My House’ is definitely going to be your vibe. We don’t need any mistletoe or nice lists this year; all we need is our own company and a warm mug of Coco!
