The Holiday season is officially in full swing, and if there’s one thing our community knows how to do, it’s set the vibe. The lights, the food, the matching pajamas. None of it hits the same without a soundtrack that feels like home. Check out the ultimate Black Christmas playlist inside.

Black artists have shaped the sound of Christmas for generations, blending gospel roots, soul, R&B, funk, and pop into holiday songs that feel warm, familiar, and festive. Whether you grew up waking to your parents blasting Donny Hathaway on Christmas morning or discovered the magic of Mariah Carey’s whistle notes on your own, these records are woven into the rhythm of Black holiday culture.
