It's that time of year again: the holiday party season. From your coworkers to your significant other, everyone is hosting a holiday party.
And unfortunately, many of those parties will feature a subpar music selection. Too many of them will play on repeat that one Mariah Carey song that needs to be put to bed. "Love Actually" came out in 2003, it's time to move on, people.
In this playlist, I've included some of my all time favorite Christmas songs from Elton John and Otis Redding, but I've also included songs that will be sure to get your guests dancing!
You want people to dance at your party, don't you?

This playlist also highlights some female artists who, I believe, do not get enough attention.
First up is The Regrettes with their new single "California Friends". I recently saw The Regrettes in DC and was blown away by the raw talent and passion of three 18-year-old women and the band's male drummer. The band is led by frontwoman Lydia Night, who reminded me of a young Gwen Stefani.
Next is Solange, who is featured on Chromeo's "When the Night Falls." Her vocals shine in this track and if you haven't given her 2016 album "A Seat at the Table" a listen, then you are missing out on one of the greatests albums of that year.
Last up is Nao's "Happy". I love the 2016 album "For All We Know". It is a romantic dream-like journey that I have come back to again and again.
