For me, that song is [Insert the name of your favorite Christmas song, e.g., “O Holy Night,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” or “All I Want for Christmas Is You”].

Where to Find the Soundtrack of the Season

Nothing captures the magic of the holidays quite like music, and finding places to hear festive tunes can turn an ordinary day into a seasonal celebration. Beyond your own home speakers, one of the most traditional and rewarding places to find holiday music is at local churches and community theaters. Many churches host beautiful, free or low-cost candlelight services and choir concerts featuring classic carols and Handel’s Messiah. Likewise, regional orchestras, high school bands, and community theater groups often put on annual holiday spectaculars that offer a mix of sacred and secular music, providing a cozy, high-quality experience that supports local artists. Checking your city’s event calendar for “holiday concerts” is the best way to find these treasured local performances, often performed in stunning, festively decorated venues.

For a more casual and accessible dose of holiday cheer, try visiting large public spaces and local businesses. Many major shopping malls, ice skating rinks, and downtown pedestrian zones play continuous holiday playlists, creating an instant festive atmosphere perfect for enjoying while you shop or socialize. Furthermore, consider seeking out local restaurants or coffee shops that feature live, seasonal entertainment. Small venues sometimes host acoustic musicians or carolers on weekend evenings, offering a cozy ambiance with your dinner or espresso. Even if you can’t catch a formal show, a walk through a major city center will almost certainly bring you past street performers or amplified seasonal soundscapes, proving that the soundtrack of the season is truly everywhere you look.
