How does Christmas music impact your mental health?

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."

When it comes to Christmas songs, there is truly something for everyone. Over the years, there have been many new holiday hits created across nearly all genres, as well as remakes of unforgettable classics.

There are certain artists like Michael Bublé, Pentatonix, Josh Groban, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Elvis, The Jackson 5 and, of course, the proclaimed queen of Christmas herself, Mariah Carey, who have recorded a large volume of Christmas music and even released albums.
