A few weeks have now passed since Thanksgiving and many people have had Christmas music blasting through their stereos ever since while even more people were playing it well before the holiday. Now that you have heard that Mariah Carey song 27 quadrillion times this month, how about you check out some of the great new holiday albums and songs to come out in 2021?
This holiday season feels leaps and bounds more festive than last year already and the large list of new holiday music is one of the many reasons to feel merry. Grammy award winners Norah Jones, Kelly Clarkson and Rob Thomas are just some of the stars with Christmas themed albums out this season, in addition to Broadway’s Kristen Chenoweth, Glee’s Darren Criss and Journey’s Steve Perry. Plus it wouldn’t be Christmas without a new Pentatonix album. There is a list of new Christmas albums as long as a child’s toy list for Santa and something for everyone as well, so turn off “All I Want for Christmas is You” and check out some new Christmas music this holiday.
