AYAA List: Broadway Christmas Songs!

Hey, everyone!

Hope you're having a happy Christmas! (And if you don't celebrate, hope you have a wonderful winter day!)

I absolutely adore Christmastime and although I am not the biggest Christmas music person, I know a lot of folks out there are. So today, I have a list of some of my favorite Christmas songs from musicals! You can find a link to all of these songs AND I've created a Spotify playlist with all of the songs below.

NOTE: If you're looking for a good album of Broadway songs on Spotify, for the past 17 years, the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS foundation has released a Carols For a Cure album, featuring songs sung by Broadway casts of the hottest current musicals. This year's album includes songs by the casts of Beautiful, Hamilton, Finding Neverland, Matilda, and Fun Home. (The Fun Home song is my personal favorite!) I have included quite a few of the Carols for a Cure songs on my playlist, but be sure to check out the whole thing.
