The 2025 Country Christmas Playlist

News 22 Comments


If you’re looking for that perfect Christmas playlist that specializes in country music, and is dedicated to new songs or new versions of old classics released this calendar year, then you’ve come to the right place.

The Saving Country Music Christmas Playlist is excruciatingly curated, focused on not being too schmaltzy, is sentimental in spots, but also isn’t afraid to have a good time. It also happens to be a great way to discover a new artist you’ve never heard before.

The 2025 Saving Country Music Christmas Playlist is available on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, and Apple Music. Find embedded players for your service below, a list of all the songs in the playlist below that, and some recommended Christmas EP and album releases as well.

FYI: Every year now songs get released later in the Christmas season, and other great songs pop up that previously weren’t in the preview. So there will be an update to the playlist posted closer to Christmas proper.

Happy Holidays from Saving Country Music!
