holiday music
Festive December soundtrack
Holiday music is songs and instrumental pieces associated with seasonal celebrations, especially Christmas.
The genre spans centuries—from traditional carols and hymns to pop standards recorded by every generation of singers.
In commercial spaces, holiday music appears reliably from late November through December: The mall was already playing holiday music before Thanksgiving.
