It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! It’s hard to be in a bad mood this month ~ I’m excited I can officially play the holiday playlist on my IPod. To get in the holiday spirit, even on the winding treadmill, here’s seasonal music guaranteed to make your workout jollier. This playlist serves as a nice break from the usual Top 40 tunes. It was hard for me to narrow down this list! I’ve included a balance of old classics, newer releases, and unique remixes to keep boredom at bay. Enjoy!
White Is In the Winter Night by Enya . . . a beautiful, happy, new modern classic and a perfect beginning to warm you up.
Jingle Bells (Robbie Hardkiss Remix) by Duke Ellington . . . this is the jazziest version of “Jingle Bells” I’ve ever heard!
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses . . . perfect beat for stepping/running and fun, fun storyline with a happy ending – what more do you need?!
All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey . . . a holiday playlist would not be complete without including this song.
Little Saint Nick by the Beach Boys . . . so fun!
I Saw Three Ships by Sting . . . such an awesome, awesome song. Gotta love Sting!!
Joy to the World by Mannheim Steamrollers . . . I’ve always wanted to choreograph a large group dance to this. (if you prefer, choose Mariah Carey’s Joy to the World instead – it was a toss up for me with this song!)
White Christmas (Ken Andrews Remix) by Bing Crosby . . . this unique version is electrified for moving.
Sleigh Ride by Johnny Mathis . . . this classic (to offset the preceeding remix) makes me all warm and fuzzy and recall Christmases past.
Step into Christmas by Elton John . . . for a last, jovial boost.
Baby It’s Cold Outside by Leon Redbone/Zooey Deschanel (from the Elf soundtrack) . . . I dare you not to sing along to this one. Zooey Deschanel is a surprisingly pleasing singer. Btw, Elf is one of those movies I can watch over and over and laugh every single time throughout the entire movie.
Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24) by Trans-Siberian Orchestra . . . compilation worthy of goosebumps and inspiring cooldowns.
