25 festive pop songs perfect for your holiday playlist

“Underneath the Tree” – Kelly Clarkson

Even the original winner of American Idol had to get in on the Christmas action! For Kelly Clarkson’s sixth studio album in 2013, she got into the holiday spirit and released Wrapped in Red. The lead single “Underneath the Tree” definitely has the power to become a holiday classic in the same vein as “All I Want For Christmas Is You” and after five years, it’s on its way.

“Underneath the Tree” just screams Christmas in every way. From the sleigh bells jingling in the background to Clarkson singing about her gratitude for her lover during the holiday season, it will without a doubt be a well-loved addition to your playlist. The song is about reminiscing about the days when she was single and how Christmas just wasn’t the same alone, but now that she has a special someone in her life, he’s all she needs underneath the tree.

Even if you don’t have someone special in mind to spend Christmas with, that’s not what the holidays is about! Even though the song is romantic, it’s not some kind of love ballad that will leave you depressed about being single. Miss Kelly will still keep you feeling festive and ready for a hot cocoa!
