because—let’s be honest—we know you only remember five minutes before guests arrive every. dang. year.

I’d forgotten to make a playlist every single year since I started hosting my family for holidays. Without fail, I’d remember that I needed a playlist five minutes before guests were slated to arrive. Finally, I planned ahead this year and created one for Thanksgiving (perfect for any occasion) and six for Christmas so that I could share them with you.

So, if you’ve got the food and the table setup, we’ve got the music and the mood. Enjoy.
