25 festive pop songs perfect for your holiday playlist

“Baby It’s Christmas (Piano Version)” – Travis Atreo feat. Colton Haynes

This might be a more unexpected choice for your playlist, but once you give it a listen, you’ll know exactly why I included it. Singer Travis Atreo teamed up with actor (and his best friend) Colton Haynes for the holiday song “Baby It’s Christmas” back in 2014, and it has stayed on my playlist ever since.

The piano version of the song has a country feel to it, especially with Colton’s deep vocals alongside Travis’ smooth voice. The pair are singing about trying to get home for Christmas morning with their loved ones, no matter what. They reminisce about all the things they love, remembering the times they made snow angels or slow danced and cuddled by the fire. It’s definitely a romantic one that will send a little pang straight to your heart.

You might not think an actor like Colton would have ever appeared on your holiday playlist, but guess again! Have you listened to the song yet? It might even bring a tear to your eye and make you snuggle your sweetie extra hard this holiday season. Travis has other Christmas covers you can listen to if you enjoy this one, but unfortunately this is the only time Colton has ventured into the Christmas music world. If this is how good his first attempt turned out, he should definitely consider more holiday singles in the future!
