What to listen to besides Jingle Bells: 5 unusual New Year's playlists

1. New songs for the New Year

Classic Christmas and New Year hits are always associated with retro, whether it's Jingle Bells or the Irony of Fate soundtrack. For those who want to diversify their annual rituals, Yandex. Music has prepared a large playlist of newer tracks. Here you will find songs by Kylie Minogue and the vocal group Pentatonix, as well as our performers - "Mumiy Troll" and Ivan Dorn.

2. Punk Christmas

If you want something more themed and more killer, turn on the "Punk Christmas" playlist. Christmas pop punk from Blink-182, midwest emo from early Jimmy Eat World and classic punk rock from The Ramones - everything to get you into the festive mood and energized for a rock party.

3. Alternative Christmas

The soft and pleasant music of this playlist will suit those who are not looking for something radically new, but are already tired of Jingle Bells and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Here you can find different songs, such as dream pop from The Raveonettes or choral chants from Polyphonic Spree. What unites all the tracks is that it is equally pleasant for them to decorate a Christmas tree or wrap gifts.

4. Jazz Christmas

Jazz has long taken its place in festive playlists: the combination of cheerfulness and lyricism in the compositions, as well as warm retro sound, are perfect for accompaniment to the bustle of the New Year. Perhaps this is why the performance of Christmas musical standards is especially good for jazz musicians. Here you will find songs by Fourplay, Miles Davis, or songs from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" for example.

5. Celtic Christmas

One of the ways to celebrate the New Year in an unusual way is to celebrate it in the traditions of another country. "Yandex. Music" invites you to feel like an Irish or a Scotsman and celebrate the holiday to the sound of a bagpipe and a Celtic harp. You don't need any tools, just turn on the Celtic Christmas playlist.
