Refresh Your Festive Soundtrack: Beyond the Holiday Classics
We’ve all been there. It’s December 1st, and suddenly every shop, radio station, and coffee house is blasting the same twenty songs we’ve heard every year since 1994. While there’s a certain nostalgia in the “Old Standards,” even the most festive spirits can start to feel a little “Jingle Bell Rocked” out by mid-month.
If you’re ready to trade in the overplayed loops for something fresh, here is how to breathe new life into your holiday playlist.
Why the “Classics” Get Tired
Psychologists actually have a term for this: sensory fatigue. When we hear the same melodic hooks and sleigh bell samples on repeat, our brains stop registering the joy and start registering the repetition. Breaking the cycle doesn’t mean you hate Christmas—it just means you’re ready for a new perspective on the season.
