7 Best New Christmas Songs of 2018

It’s finally Christmas season!

While the traditional classics continue to take over our holiday playlists (Mariah Carey, I’m looking at you), artists are still creating new songs that are soon to become our new favorites as we count down the days until Christmas.

Here are some of the best new Christmas songs for 2018…

We The Kings – “There is a Light”

We The Kings finally took out their first Christmas album and their new song ‘There is a Light’ is one of two new originals songs they’ve written for the album. Singer Travis Clark told Seventeen the story behind the song.

“Each Christmas I would wait up as long as I could staring out my bedroom window to see Santa Claus and the reindeer coming to my house,” he said. “One year I could have sworn I saw Rudolph’s red nose lighting the way and I truly believed it was Santa. Realistically, it was probably an airplane…or was it?”

Lindsey Stirling – “Warmer in the Winter”

Lindsey is known for her violin skills, but it’s her voice that takes over in her new song ‘Warmer in the Winter’. Lindsey opened up to Seventeen about how the song came about.

“I love classic Christmas music so I wanted to write a song that had that an effortless timeless feel — a song that could sit next to Frank Sinatra on a playlist and they could be friends.”
