Christmas music
Seasonal December tunes
Christmas music is songs and instrumental pieces associated with the Christmas season, typically played from late November through December.
The genre spans sacred hymns like "Silent Night," secular standards like "Jingle Bells," and contemporary pop recordings.
Christmas music dominates retail soundtracks during the holidays: If I hear that Christmas music one more time, I'm leaving the store.
