The best part about the Holidays? Hands down, the music. It gets you in the spirit and makes you want to burst with holiday cheer. Here at Riad, while we are busy being elves for our special events, we love to blast our favorite holiday tunes to get us in the mood. Here’s a rundown of artists we love to add to your holiday playlist ASAP.
1. Michael Bublé

We won’t be shy, this is our absolute favorite. Something about his voice just makes you want to cuddle up by the fire with your family and take in all the holiday happiness. Christmas, released in 2012 has not lost its spark and still remains one of the most popular holiday albums of our time.
2. Frank Sinatra

A classic. This album, A Jolly Christmas was released in 1957 and remastered to Ultimate Christmas in 2017. and has been played by households for years as part of the Christmas tradition. His music encompasses so many aspects of American music such as jazz, swing, show tunes, and pop which is why we love him so much.
3. Pentatonix

A Pentatonix Christmas seriously makes you want to get up, start dancing, singing at the top of your lungs, and perform to a group of 50 people. Might as well plan a number for your guests! Recently released in 2017, this album is the second Christmas album by Pentatonix and they’re only getting better.
4. Andy Williams

For when you need a more sophisticated, old-school holiday vibe at your event, Andy Williams is the man of Christmas records. His smooth voice will set the mood just right, every time.
5. The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 is one of the most well-loved groups by families everywhere. The Motown vibe automatically makes any event or setting more fun and vivacious. For more of a playful tone, we blast this album when we are gearing up for all the excitement.
6. A Charlie Brown Christmas

From the 1965 animated Christmas Special, Vince Guaraldi Trio remastered and expanded the music into a timeless album. The style and the technique of the piano throughout the album is quite impressive and never fails to bring a smile to our faces.
7. Ariana Grande

The biggest pop-culture sensation right now. Might as well rock her high ponytail at the event table to really “wow” the crowd. Her short album, Christmas Kisses, combined with her “Santa Tell Me” single, creates the perfect Christmas pop playlist.
8. Justin Bieber

We had to throw a heart-throb in there. Once “Mistletoe” hit the charts, we were swooning. The mix of the Christmas classics combined with his own original songs, this album is the perfect backdrop for any occasion.
9. Christina Aguilera

The woman has pipes and we are here for it. We try to sing along to match it but let’s be real, no one compares to Christina. My Kind of Christmas will blow your guests out of the water and will definitely be the album you blast when you’re all alone in your house preparing for the holiday feast ahead.
10. Mariah Carey

The iconic single “All I Want for Christmas Is You” commences the start of the holidays every single year. Honestly, we’ve heard this during the summer months as well (it’s seriously just that good). Mariah’s sweet and sultry voice is truly one-of-a-kind and makes our holiday season even brighter.
