There are two things you need for a successful family party this holiday - a spacious venue and good music. The beach is an ideal place for family parties, even if it is not summer, because it offers plenty of space. On the other hand, choosing the right music is tricky, because you need songs that fit the season, as well as, location of the celebration.

If you are making the perfect playlist for your family reunion at the beach this year, consider adding these catchy tunes:

Christmas Songs

Winter Things by Ariana Grande (2015)

Your family will surely find this ukulele ballad relatable, especially since you are spending the holidays at the beach. It is about enjoying a romantic Christmas, complete with winter activities like chilling by the fireside and ice skating, despite being somewhere without snow. It begins with lines that you are probably familiar with, “It ain’t even cold outside, not where I’m from… Feeling like it’s mid-July under the sun…”

Pagdating ng Pasko by Jose Mari Chan (2012)

Composed and sung by the Father of Philippine Christmas Carol, this song is a must have for your holiday family getaway playlist. It is an effortlessly endearing song about how the spirit of Christmas puts everyone in a happier mood. It is also a great reminder of your family holiday traditions, like going to your grandparents house on Christmas and exchanging gifts with our loved ones.  

All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey (1994)

Don’t forget to include this classic Mariah Carey hit song in your holiday playlist. Even though it has been more than 20 years since it was first released, this song is still played everywhere during the holidays and everyone in the family, from your uncles and aunt to your nieces and nephews, knows its lyrics.

Non-Christmas Songs
