When you think of Christmas songs, does your head typically go to the good ol classics? Brenda Lee singing “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”, Burl Ives doing “Silver and Gold”, John Lennon and Wham, Elvis, and who can forget Mariah Carey. As soon as those chimes start ringing, you instantly know “All I Want For Christmas is You” is coming. Personally, I love Christmas songs, but at age 36, this means I’ve been hearing the same ol, same ol for 36 years now. And, as with all things in life, sometimes ya just get a little sick of something- no matter how great it is- when you get too much of it.
Now, imagine those same old classics with a touch of bass and a more upbeat tempo. In a world where familiarity often breeds a sense of predictability, these remixes inject a burst of energy into the festive soundscape. The juxtaposition of nostalgia and innovation creates a unique auditory experience that resonates with both young and old. It’s a musical journey that bridges generations, offering a novel take on familiar melodies while preserving the sentimental value of cherished holiday songs. These remixes not only add a lively dimension to Christmas gatherings but also serve as a testament to the enduring appeal of festive music, continuously evolving to suit contemporary tastes and keep the spirit of the season alive with a fresh, dance-worthy vibe. It’s the ultimate blend of classic and modern, the perfect combination of traditional and new age, and it is bound to please generations of family members. Your little ones will love the beat, and your parents will recognize the songs- all in all, it’s a crowd pleaser!
Let’s not forget to mention that while the classics really are pure magic, most of them are just soooo slowwwww. This doesn’t exactly set the vibe for a pumpin’ Holiday Party. If you are hosting a Christmas gathering, having a small festive gathering, or just decorating the house with a cold Baileys in-hand, then this list of Christmas Remixes is sure to keep you, and your guests, moving.

Another classic turnt up! You’ll get the warm fuzzies from this one and your parents won’t leave the room if you play it in their presence.
