At Talking Tables HQ we take your soundtrack to the holiday season very seriously. Here are our Spotify recommendations to get your guests into the Christmas spirit.
Is Christmas really Christmas without hearing Mariah’s high notes in the background while you wrap gifts or the dulcet tones of Bing Crosby as you drive over to your in-laws. We think not. At Talking Tables HQ we take your soundtrack to the holiday season very seriously. So much so we’ve spent the last few days searching through Spotify’s myriad of playlists to find you the best compilations to get you in the festive spirit. Alexa, play Christmas number 1s.

Michael Buble’s Christmas album
We couldn’t put together a list of festive playlists and not include the undisputed king of chrimbo. Michael Buble’s album Christmas has been streamed over 4 billion times since it came out 10 years ago (imagine the royalties) and is jam packed with covers of much-loved hits like Silent Night and Santa Claus is coming to town.
