We don’t know about you, but music plays a big part of our Christmas celebrations. Which is why we thought we’d put together our list of must-have tunes on your playlist – from contemporary Christian songs to traditional favorites.
Happy listening!
Make Room – Casting Crowns
This song comes from the brand new Christmas album by Casting Crowns, ‘It’s Finally Christmas’. We chose this as our song of the album as it asks a key question of us all at Christmas – is there room in your heart for God?
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen – Pentatonix
A capella vocal sensation Pentatonix are a Christmas favorite here at Christianbook.com! It’s hard to choose just one song from the incredible ‘A Pentatonix Christmas’ album, but ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ might just be our pick. It’s throughly impressive and something you just have to hear for yourself!
Light of the World – Lauren Daigle
An original song from Dove-winning singer and songwriter, Lauren Daigle, ‘Light of the World’ is simply beautiful. This song comes from Lauren’s first Christmas album, ‘Behold’ – with songs featuring jazz themes, all inspired by Lauren’s upbringing in New Orleans.
Dove-winning singer and songwriter Lauren Daigle offers her first Christmas collection, Behold. This reverent and jazzy collection draws from the sounds of Lauren’s New Orleans upbringing, and includes a selection of timeless Christmas classics alongside original song “Light of The World.”
Born is the King – Hillsong
This upbeat song always gets us in the mood to celebrate at Christmas! From the 2012 bestselling album, ‘We Have A Savior’, this song is a Hillsong original and, if it’s not already, will likely become a family favorite.
These Christmas Lights – Matt Redman
The title track from Matt Redman’s first Christmas album is must for your playlist! The entire album is inspired by Redman’s personal pilgrimage to Bethlehem with the song ‘These Christmas Lights’ centering on key Christian themes. Most importantly that God is the reason for the season.
To Be Together – Amy Grant
From Amy’s 2017 Dove Award-winning album, Tennessee Christmas comes the lovely ‘To Be Together’. A song all about being with friends, family and loved ones at Christmastime, this tune is sure to become a firm favorite.
We Three Kings – Tenth Avenue North
Tenth Avenue North’s brand new Christmas album, Decade The Halls is a wonderful musical journey through songs of past and present. Each song is set stylistically in a different decade, with our favorite, We Three Kings featuring a distinctly 70s feel. It’s the perfect way to inject Christmas cheer to your get-togethers!
Hark! the Herald Angels Sing – Meredith Andrews
Meredith Andrew’s upbeat version certainly brings this Christmas classic into 2017. From her brand new Christmas album Receive Our King, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing delivers the perfect message for Christmas… ‘Glory to the newborn King!’
