Kaskade’s Christmas: The Unexpected Gift EDM Fans Didn’t Know They Needed

Kaskade is an icon in the music industry and a true S-tier headliner—he was even the first DJ to perform at the Super Bowl! While he’s best known for his infectious house beats, moving lyrics, and unreal live performances, Kaskade has also ventured into the world of Christmas music. It might sound surprising at first, but with two full albums of reimagined classic Christmas songs and now two winter seasons of live performances with a full band, he’s completely transformed the holiday season for electronic music fans. These albums have become modern holiday classics, perfect for any family gathering.

When Kaskade first pitched the idea of this project, his management wasn’t sold. Classics like “Deck the Halls” and “Jingle Bells” have been done and redone so many times that his team doubted if a new take was even worth it. But Kaskade believed in the vision, and thank goodness he did—these albums are true works of art. Collaborating with some of his favorite musicians and vocalists, he crafted electronic versions of these timeless songs that are unmistakably “Kaskade.” Each track carries his signature beat structure and often features incredible future trap melodies, giving the classics a whole new vibe. The best part? They’re family-friendly and chill, making them perfect for the holiday season—even for non-EDM fans. Standout tracks include “Jingle Bells,” “Christmas Is Here,” and “Auld Lang Syne,” each filled with soaring melodies over intricate soundscapes.

The world is lucky that Kaskade pushed forward despite his management’s doubts. I remember when these albums first dropped—I put them on hesitantly and was absolutely blown away. If you haven’t listened to them yet, add them to your holiday playlist, and get ready to be transported to a better, more festive world!
