SanMar Canada’s Ultimate Christmas Playlist

Look, we know it’s only the 8th of October, and we know that Christmas is 78 days away, but as the Coca-Cola ad says, “Holidays Are Coming,” and we want to be ready for it!

During the summer, The Social Committee asked you for your suggestions when it put together a SanMar Canada summer playlist, with all of our teammates’ favourite tunes included.

There was some Fleetwood Mac in there, some Aerosmith, a bit of Elton John, the Black-Eyed Peas made an appearance, and it’s clear you’re all big fans of 1970s rock because that was the most popular decade and genre in the playlist.

Those songs were for those warm, sunny days, cruising down the highway, doing your own version of carpool karaoke. This time around, we’re looking for you to suggest some Christmas classics.

We want the songs you simply love to hear when you’re putting up your tree, drinking your hot chocolate by the fire or when you’re out buying presents and hear it over the speakers in the mall.

The Marketing Department are festive fanatics, so here are a few of the songs they want included in the playlist. Hopefully, it inspires you to delve deep into your Christmas catalogue of songs:

• All I Want For Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey
• Mary’s Boy Child – Boney M
• The Christmas Song – Nat King Cole
• I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday – Wizzard
• Baby It’s Cold Outside – Dean Martin

We know people get excited for Christmas around now, others leave it until after Halloween, and many wait until much closer to December, but The Social Committee is planning ahead.

If you have any suggestions for our company-wide playlist for the festive season, please send them to seano@sanmarcanada.com. He’ll add them to the playlist, and on December 1st, you’ll be able to access all your favourites in the build-up to the 25th.
