With having started half marathon training this week, and Christmas right around the corner, I’m thinking that I need a seasonal update for my playlist. One of the many things that I love about Christmas is Christmas music, and thankfully, there are many great Christmas songs that are upbeat and are perfect for keeping me motivated while working out.
Some of the songs that I’ll be including on my Christmas Music Running Playlist include:
“Run Run Rudolph” by Chuck Berry
“Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” by N’Sync
“Carol of the Bells” by Trans-Siberian Orchestra
“Last Christmas” by Wham!
“Step into Christmas” by Elton John
And my absolute favorite pop Christmas song…
“All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey
QOTD: What is your favorite Christmas song to listen to while working out?
You have my favorites up there – Last Christmas, Carol of the Bells and All I Want for Christmas. I use to work at Limited Too during high school…and I remember hearing the NSYNC song on repeat for that season haha.
Omg Limited Too! So many memories from shopping there with my mom!
oh see?? now you have me pondering a HANUKKAH PLAY LIST!!!!
Its fun, isn’t it?
I LOVE Christmas music! And all this cold weather is causing me to be in the holiday spirit!
Yes, my thoughts exactly!
Good reminder, I’ve still got Halloween songs on mine so need to switch them out 🙂 I love Last Christmas and Carol of the Bells.
I didn’t make a Christmas playlist last year, so I’m excited to make one this year.
Never thought of running to TSO’s carol of the bells, but it really would be a good running song! I don’t often run to Christmas music, but I may try it out this year….there are some punk rock Christmas songs that would be good to run to 🙂
I’m going to try it for the first time this year as well.
I’ve got my Christmas playlist going already. It was COLD last week so I didn’t feel guilty listening to it, and I ran to it last night. I’ve got some of those songs, by different artists, and I good mix of just music and lyrics with music.
The cold definitely isn’t helping the early arrival of the Christmas season this year, is it?
This is a great playlist. Step into Christmas is my absolute favorite!
An oldie but a definite goodie!
Wham and Mariah – totally changed the pop music Christmas game 🙂 love this list!!
They’re great!
Oh I love this! Saving for my next run! 🙂
Enjoy!
mariah carey’s version of all i want for christmas is you is simply untouchable. such a CLASSIC. i love it. great list!
Couldn’t agree more!
All great Christmas songs. I do not alter my playlist at all around the holidays, but I sure do like listening to them on the radio.
I love hearing these while in the car.
I never thought to add Christmas songs to my playlist. I need to add some of your including Mariah Carey. Love that song!
Its great, isn’t it? 🙂
This is probably my favorite post you’ve ever done. CHRISTMAS!!!
Hmmm, I don’t think I’ve ever listened to Christmas music when working out!
I love it! My husband and I were driving yesterday and I was trying desperately to find some good Christmas music on the radio. I’m ready for it!
