Two vocal powerhouses, Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande, collaborate for a Christmas jive that echoes those who are waiting in great anticipation for their gifts.

12. “Santa Tell Me” – Ariana Grande

13. “My Favorite Things” – Christina Aguilera

While “My Favorite Things” didn’t start as a Christmas song, the original singer—Julie Andrews—once sang it on a holiday special, and people started seeing it as a Christmas song. While Julie unfortunately cannot sing it anymore, Christina Aguilera did the song justice.

Although we’ve certainly heard some of these in the mall starting September, it doesn’t mean we can’t add them to our existing playlist. Hopefully, new songs will come out this December. After all, there’s a lot of cheer that needs to be had so that we can brave the hard times. No matter how high the odds may be.
