holiday tune-up
Nix the Nutcracker Suite after dinner and play DJ with this festive holiday playlist.
Barenaked Ladies:
"Do They Know It’s Christmas"
This
‘80s hit was recorded to bring attention to the famine crisis in
Ethiopia, and Canada’s quirkiest group does a great job filling the
musical boots of Bono, Sting, George Michael and Phil Collins.
Michael Bublé:
"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"
What
else to expect from the smooth crooner than a positively bubbly
Christmas ditty? (And we hear a few gals have bunked down in front of
the fire with this Burnaby lothario.)
Sarah
McLachlan:
"Happy Xmas (The War is Over)"
Mclaughlan lends her signature melodic and moody style to this John Lennon song, perfect for a wistful holiday moment.
Diana Krall:
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
Jazz-up your next cocktail party with a soulful and romantic version of this longing tune.
Ron Sexsmith:
"Maybe This Christmas"
It’s not all about presents: This song about hope and forgiveness during the holidays is an indie gem.
And the guilty pleasure:
Maybe it’s the cheesy video or maybe it’s because it’s heavily featured in Love Actually (the best Christmas movie ever!), but no gal in the Vitamin Daily office can resist Mariah Carey’s "All I Want For Christmas is You." Just please don’t tell anyone.
