While finals are winding up and spirits are winding down, it’s necessary to have a reminder of the cheerful, wintery days that await every student after finals week. This playlist of feel good holiday tunes will help LSU students through these testing times. The Christmas season always provides contemporary covers and new icey songs every year, but students should stick with a solid mix of established classics and musicians, despite the spare tracks and artists that relate to our generation.
Some songs are classics like “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.” The title of the song and its content are attention grabbing and playful enough to give anyone a nice chuckle to round out their day. Other songs are classics with a twist like Colbie Caillat’s version of “Santa Baby,” a well-produced song that leaves the listener with a sweet holiday treat to sing along to.
