The arrival of the holiday season comes with many things to celebrate, but chief among them is that it’s finally socially acceptable to listen to holiday music 24/7. But between all of the calendar commitments and travel this time of year, enjoying that holiday music can often mean switching between different playlists or apps, using the old-school CD player at your parents’ house, or trying to figure out if your rental car can connect to the music on your phone. It’s a lot of tech to juggle just to find the right playlist. There’s one place where you can easily find every genre of holiday music, though: SiriusXM.

SiriusXM is already popular for its integration into the tech products you use every day — like your car, speakers, and phone. And this holiday season, they’ve added new channels playing all different types of holiday music. There’s a channel fit for every type of occasion, like the office holiday party, a reunion meal with hometown friends, or a quiet wintery morning spent with family.
Those channels include ones playing classic holiday hits, like Holiday Traditions (which has your famous jazz standards), Holiday Soul (with soul and R&B songs), Country Christmas, and Jolly Christmas (think cheerful classics). These channels offer timeless tracks that will keep the whole family happy, or be a good option for any multigenerational gatherings. However, SiriusXM also has plenty of channels for newer and more upbeat holiday music, like Holly (its contemporary holiday channel), Navidad (a Latin holiday channel), Rockin’ Xmas (rock n’ roll-infused holiday hits), and Jingle Jamz, which has rap and R&B hits — all perfect options for friend get-togethers or late nights around a bonfire.
SiriusXM’s holiday music is also easy to access for anyone who uses even a little bit of tech. The SiriusXM app can connect to smart TVs, smart speakers and displays, media players, and more, so you can fill your home with the sounds of the season (or just play directly from your phone). Many eligible cars also come with a SiriusXM Platinum subscription, so there’s a good chance you’ll be able to access it in your rental car this season. And a revamped version of the app is coming soon, with new features like tailored search based on a user’s listening history and integrations with Pandora and Stitcher. (The app also includes sports, news, and talk, plus a new partnership with Audible.)
All of the holiday music channels make SiriusXM a must-have app this season. Download the app now and soundtrack your season with a channel for every occasion.
