Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year! It’s a season filled with love, laughter, and quality time with loved ones and family. Creating the perfect playlist is a must—it sets the foundation for a magical evening. While I firmly believe any EDM song can fit into a Christmas playlist, I’ve curated a list of EDM Christmas songs that perfectly blend the holiday spirit with electronic beats. This playlist is also a fantastic way to introduce the (soon-to-be) EDM lovers in your life to the genre. I hope you discover something new to add to your celebrations!
“Jingle Bells” by Kaskade, Soran
If you haven’t heard Kaskade’s renditions of Christmas classics, you’re missing out. Kaskade’s musical genius shines in this stunning take on the ultimate holiday song. The melody soars like a bird through a snowy winter night, perfectly capturing the magic of Christmas. It’s a fantastic introduction to EDM for family gatherings and sets a warm, festive tone for the big day.
“O Come Emmanuel” by Kaskade, Skylar Grey
Another gem from Kaskade’s Christmas collection, this track is a breathtaking rendition of a timeless classic. Skylar Grey’s hauntingly beautiful vocals lay the foundation for a futuristic trap melody that dances over the listener, creating melodic rifts that are simply enchanting. This song is perfect for cozying up with hot chocolate by the fire—a mood setter for a magical winter evening.
“Home Alone” by Naeleck, Vini Vici, Marnik
For those craving a high-energy twist, Naeleck, Vini Vici, and Marnik deliver with this electrifying take on a holiday staple. The track opens with the classic “Home Alone” theme but quickly ramps up into a powerful psytrance drop. The energy hits you like a reindeer-pulled sleigh in the best way possible, making it the perfect soundtrack for catching up and celebrating with friends and family.
“Carol of the Bells” by Trap City, Goblins from Mars
This playlist has something for everyone, and this track is tailor-made for the trap and rap lovers in your group. Starting with the classic “Carol of the Bells” melody, Goblins from Mars quickly transforms it into a devastating (but fun!) trap drop for the ages. It’s an excellent choice for pregaming and building energy for the night ahead. Use this song wisely—it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped!
“Christmas Riddim” by Weekend Warriors
To close out the playlist, we’re diving into a bass-heavy track that comes with a fair warning—it might surprise the group! Starting with traditional Christmas melodies, the track quickly escalates into a massive riddim drop. This one’s for the bassheads in the room, ensuring everyone has their moment to shine. It’s a bold and exciting way to round out the night and keep the energy alive.
This playlist blends the warmth of Christmas with the excitement of EDM, offering something for every mood and every listener. Whether you’re cozy by the fire, catching up with loved ones, or amping up the energy for a party, these tracks will help make your holiday season unforgettable. Show love, spread joy, and crank up the festive beats! 🎄🎶
