Holiday Music

Beyond Traditional Christmas Music

We’ve all heard the traditional Christmas music that plays on the radio and at stores during the holiday season. After hearing the same songs play year after year, coming up with fresh ideas or sources of inspiration can be challenging.

When starting to create holiday music, don’t let the classics intimidate you. There is inspiration all around us, and many things to celebrate beyond just gift-giving, snowmen, and decking the halls.

Christmas music may be its own genre, but artists still enjoy using their own style to create something familiar, but slightly new. Jingle bells might always be the same, but delivery matters! With a country twang or an upbeat, electronic remix, jingle bells quickly transforms into something fresh and new.
