There is that wonderful smell of cinnamon, (who doesnt like a spiced cinnamon latte?), burning fires and watching the snow gently carpet the garden, all observed from a warm cosy spot inside. However, for us, what makes the season so very perfect is choosing our top 50 songs to play during the festive season.<br></p><p class="Default" style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0cm;"><img src="../blogimages/519284367/1607952011.jpeg" style="width: 1073px;"></p><p class="Default" style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="">However, you choose to spend your festive holidays, were here to help you put together the most epic Christmas music playlist EVER.

But there is an art to achieving the right balance of what music to play and when to play it, to ensure it adds to the festive cheer, without it becoming an overkill, before December 25th arrives. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Even we think it is so important not to overplay Christmas music before the day arrives. You dont want people to be despising the sound of a good festive song, before the main event! Actually, you should plan to play Christmas music from around 27th November until 26th December (Boxing Day). After this time, people begin preparing for the New Year and some, even begin taking down their Christmas decorations.</span></p><p class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"><img src="../blogimages/519284367/1607952185.jpeg" style="width: 1073px;"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">You might be surprised to learn that we think its a good idea, when compiling your festive season soundtrack, to use songs you love listening to throughout the year. Then add a Christmas song or carol every couple of tunes. It gives listeners the space they need between your festive tracks, but adds to a joyful and festive atmosphere. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"><img src="../blogimages/519284367/1607952204.jpeg" style="width: 1073px;"></p><p class="MsoSubtitle" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US">What Are the Top Ten Songs for Christmas Eve?</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Adel, singer and harpist at 2 of Harps said, Christmas Eve is such a fun time. Theres always a buzz in the air. A fizz of excitement. We so LOVE playing Christmas music whilst adding a few last-minute touches to the decorations. We always begin preparing our Christmas dinner on the 24th December, like peeling the potatoes and brussels, and a festive soundtrack playing loudly through the speakers, as the whole family gathers in the kitchen helps ensure it is so much fun!</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Body" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Karina, the other half of 2 of Harps said, Like Adel, I LOVE Christmas Eve music, its just so special.
