Winters bring about the coldest time of the year. It is not only the best time for travelers to adventure across the globe but also the favorite time for people to celebrate festivals and holidays!

In December, when Christmas is round the corner and the festivities are in full swing, music is an essential part of adding to the cheer! Christmas carols become a rage around this time even among those that don't necessarily celebrate this festival. In fact, during this time, it is music that brings people of all religions and cultures together to celebrate the winter months.

Be it a Christmas bash, a winter ball dance at schools and colleges, or just a cozy winter party at home with friends and family, music can make every occasion memorable. Even an official evening out with colleagues or a business party can not be complete without a winter score in the background. These songs therefore represent the time of the year when people bundle up for outdoor fun or unwind in front of a cozy fireplace.

If you are one of those that prefer listening to the traditional, classic genre of winter music, some scores to select from are:

  • “Winter Wonderland” - Johnny Mathis
  • “Sleigh Ride” - Boston Pops
  • “Baby it’s cold outside”- Dean Martin
  • “Winter Romance”- Dean Martin

If you prefer more pop, rock and funk sort of music during a winter theme party or while traveling, some of these songs could help you groove and make your cold days memorable:

  • “ Early Winter” - Gwen Stefani
  • “Winter Time” - Steve Miller Band
  • “Winter”- Rolling Stones
  • “A Winter’s Tale” - Queen
  • “Winter”- Tori Amos
  • “Hazy Shade of Winter”- Simon and Garfunkel
  • “First snow on Brooklyn” – Jethro tull

While winters bring snow in many areas, some others don't see any flakes at all. But hey! there is no reason for you to be sad if it doesn’t snow in your city. Listening to songs on snow can help you pretend for a bit that you are surrounded by these beautiful white, fluffy flakes. Do not forget to include these snowfall melodies to the list!

  • “Snowflakes” - Jim Reeves
  • “Snowbound” - Genesis
  • “Snowbird” - Anna Murray
  • “Let it Snow” - Frank Sinatra
  • “Snow come down” - Lori Carson
  • “15 feet of Pure White Snow” – Nick Cave and Bad Seeds

Winter music is like a refuge that can help one crawl into the space between the notes and curl back into loneliness and bliss! So play on, on and on!
