Welcome To HC’s Gen Z Holiday Playlist

Holiday playlists are a tricky beast to tackle. What at first seems like a mountain of different songs to climb quickly morphs into several mountains, which are all made up of 100 versions of the same songs. Before you know it, you’ve accidentally added four renditions of “Winter Wonderland” to your queue! To help sift through the masses, from new Christmas songs to the classics, several members of the Her Campus team contributed their seasonal favorites. Featuring Christmas, Hanukkah, and ~wintery~ vibes all around, HC created the ultimate holiday playlist for the season – and we also squeezed in the beloved pop-punk revival, as well as a touch of sad girl winter, if you will. My emotions? All over the place. But my Christmas spirit? Out of this world.

So, without further ado, happy streaming to all and to all a good night!
