Our standout holiday tracks for 2024
The ultimate soundtrack for coziness, family, and fun. Here are five of our catalog’s standout holiday tracks, primed to give your content that seasonal sparkle.
Jordin Sparks – Jingle Bells
Want to go big with your holiday content? You can’t get much bigger than Jordin Sparks. The multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated vocalist signed with Epidemic Sound in 2023, dropping a debut EP of four wintertime covers. Her rendition of Jingle Bells was one of our most popular tracks last year, and is a tried-and-tested classic — we’re sure it’ll brighten your project timeline.
Need more Jordin Sparks? You’re in luck. Listen to Jordin’s follow-up holiday EP, Joy, and find that festive feeling.
Yinon Muallem – Hanukkah Dance
Those who observe Hanukkah are in for eight days of blessings, sick dreidel skills, and enough potato latkes to make Frito-Lay look like posers. Yinon Muallem’s instrumental Hanukkah Dance rattles along in traditional Klezmer style, excitement bursting from every kanoun riff, each flurry of clarinet. It’s a time for celebration, and this track is perfect for any content themed around the holiday.
Dasloe – Santa Tell Me When?
Dasloe’s day-to-day is K-pop, but Santa Tell Me When? sees him branch out into chiller, jazz-pop territory. Jammed full of lively beats, jaunty tempo changes, and cheeky lyrics, it’s the ideal choice for uplifting seasonal content. Plus, you can’t mess with that combination of jingling bells and autotune.
Victor Lundberg – Lilac Snow
Winter isn’t all about religious holidays. For many, it’s purely vibes — being cozy and unplugged from work is just as valid. Victor Lundberg nails this concept with Lilac Snow, his dreamy indie-folk setting the stage for log fires and long nights. Whether you’re soundtracking lo-fi short-form content or a quirky montage, this track’s subdued verses and bittersweet chorus should check all the boxes.
OTE – Jingle Through the Snow
Ever had Déjà vu? We got it real bad with Jingle Through the Snow. OTE’s instrumental track is so familiar, the influence and touchpoints lingering on the tip of your tongue. Everything from the warm, crackling vinyl to the Beach Boys sweetness, all chirpy glockenspiel and surf-rock guitar licks — it’s so comforting. If your content’s nostalgic and feel-good, you can’t go wrong with this.
Your content deserves a great soundtrack. You bring the idea, we bring the sound — step into our massive catalog of more than 50,000 tracks and find the perfect match today.
