Admit it. There’s nothing that gets you or your customers in the Christmas spirit quite like the sounds of the season. Whether it’s a classic that takes you back to a cherished childhood memory or a brand new favorite, there’s something about Christmas music that delights, inspires and makes magic happen during the most wonderful (and important) time of the year.

I work security at a retail property that uses Mood. On the job, I have heard hours and hours of Christmas music this season, and as a former dj, music person, and designer of mixes and playlists myself, I am extremely impressed and have enjoyed the Holiday Pop tracks very much. I have been trying to research some of the tracks on it, actually. For example, what version of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is in Holiday Pop? It’s modern like a dubstep, but much better than any of the versions I checked out on itunes, and I checked out a lot. I have other questions, too. I figured out one of the versions of “Baby it’s Cold Outside”–I was surprised that it was Jessica Simpson and Nick Lackey, but it’s a great version. Thank you–very professional mix of Christmas songs, I think, and made many a shift more fun.
