Some of you may have seen on Instagram that I recently purchased a record player for our home and have started amassing a collection of my favorite Christmas albums on vinyl. I am a total Christmas music junkie and it’s what I’ve been listening to almost exclusively since the first week of November. I totally get it if you’re the type that prefers to wait until December, but for me it just makes the season when I am creating and shooting so much holiday content feel so much more festive so November it is! You guys loved when I shared my Christmas music favorites so much last year that I decided to update The Sweetest Christmas playlist with some additional selections for this holiday season, some old and some new. In addition to my growing collection of holiday vinyls, this is my go-to playlist and is, in my humble opinion, one of the best Christmas playlists you’re ever going to find. It’s got the classics, it’s got the modern classics and it’s got a few brand new songs that were just released this year. Check it out! Follow along on Spotify and let me know if you want additional playlists throughout the year, too. I’m happy to oblige! (Scroll down for a track list for those of you who don’t use Spotify.)

Hi Cyd!! I'm tottaly in love with your Christmas' posts!! Sometimes I think I am a kind of addicted, but now I found your posts and realized that we are very similar, hehe!! The real problem for me is that here in Brazil we are entering in summer time so it is not the same "enviroment" of yours to celebrate... Kisses!!

Juliana, thank you SO much! I can't tell you how much that means to me. Christmas posts are my favorite to photograph and write so it makes my heart so happy to know you're loving them. I've always wondered what it's like celebrating Christmas in summer, but I guess if it's all you've ever known it just kind of is what it is, right? Sending merry wishes for Christmas and lots of hugs! xoxo
