Jam on this holiday season with the "Jingle Jams" playlist

December 4, 2024

This blog was written by Darrell Anderson, marketing and communications specialist for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library

* playlist has been updated as of December 4, 2024

 

In addition to a good, wintery read, there is something about holiday music that brings the winter months to life. We've compiled a “Jingle Jams” playlist of seasonal songs that will make you want to bust a move to the groove, sing along, mellow your mood, tap your toes, bundle up in front of a fire, decorate your home, or some combination of celebration! Whatever you celebrate, there is a song for you. We tried to keep this list inclusive, knowing that our libraries serve diverse customers with equally diverse beliefs.

 

Whether you’re a reindeer, the Grinch, a metalhead or someone who speaks native Hawaiian, we’ve got you covered.

 

One thing to note, before you get jiggy with your jingle jams, you will need to have your Library card or ONE Access ID number handy to log in and stream this Freegal Music playlist (you can also find these songs alternatively on hoopla). Don’t have a Library card yet? The best, money-saving gifts come in small, pocket-sized packages – click here to give yourself the gift of the public library all year long.

 

On Dasher, on Dancer, on to the “jingle jams” playlist….!
