- “Sleigh Ride” – The Boston Pops Orchestra
Chosen by: Meghan, Creative Director
When my son was born, it snowed on his first Christmas, and I remember being up throughout the night with him while watching the silent snow fall and listening to this song. - “White Christmas” – Irving Berlin
Chosen by: Katrina, Associate Publisher, National Sales & Revenue Strategy
I listened to it as a little girl and it reminds me of cozy Christmases surrounded by snow. - “Somewhere in My Memory” – John Williams
Chosen by: Jane, Designer
It’s been a family tradition to watch the movie Home Alone every Christmas since I was a kid. Plus, anything John Williams writes is wonderful. - “Mele Kalikimaka” – Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters
Chosen by: George, Advertising Sales Representative
Such a fun, catchy tune, plus it drives my wife insane when I play it. - “The Sussex Carol” – Traditional
Chosen by: Elspeth, Project Manager
Nothing captures the excitement of the festive season like the traditional carols. This carol in particular reminds me of Christmases with my grandparents, filled with mince pies, walks in the crisp winter air, and crackling fires. - “All I Want for Christmas is You” – Mariah Carey
Chosen by: Chris, Project Manager
It’s fun to see all the hype that kicks off in October to remind us all that Christmas is right around the corner. Like it or not. - “Christmas Time Is Here” – The Vince Guaraldi Trio
Chosen by: Heidi, Designer
It’s from A Charlie Brown Christmas. It just feels like the background track to the season and I can remember listening to it in every era of my life. - “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” – Small Town Titans
Chosen by: Mike, Designer
That voice! - “Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep)” – Irving Berlin
Chosen by: Misty, Publisher + Founder
White Christmas—simply the best Christmas musical ever made. It’s such a heartwarming reminder that what truly matters during the holidays and every other day of the year are the simple, lovely things and the people who share them with you. - “Joy to the World” – Aretha Franklin
Chosen by: Bella, Chief of Staff
I’m partial to this version. Also the Otis Redding and Lady Gaga versions of “White Christmas.” - “Falala Hohoho” – Sharpe Family Singers
Chosen by: Devin, Social Media & Content Curator
If you want a good laugh, this will definitely deliver. And to throw a little Gen Z flare in here, John Legend’s “Bring Me Love” never misses. I was his biggest fan growing up. And you can’t forget Ariana Grande’s “Last Christmas.” - “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” – Gayla Peevey
Chosen by: Heidi, Advertising Sales Representative
I love that it is fun and silly, and just makes you smile.
Happy Holidays from everyone here at En Face!
