The Ultimate Pop Holiday Playlist

Face it, it’s the holiday season, and whether you’re Christmas shopping, grocery shopping, in the car, or at a restaurant, there’s Christmas music e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e.

If you have kids or just are into pop music, then we’re sure you’ve heard Bieber’s version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" a few times or Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" about 300 times.

Though we enjoy a little Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole, let’s get into the holiday spirit with the hits of today. While Bieber, Michael Bublé, and the cast of Glee have been owning the holiday cheer in recent years, that doesn’t mean the sounds of boy bands past like *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and 98 Degrees as well as a hint of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera aren’t going to get you into the spirit of the season.

With a little mix of past and present, here is our Ultimate Pop Playlist — from Britney to Bieber to Beyoncé.
