What is Christmas Music?
It is pretty hard to define Christmas music since we can all feel its vibe by just thinking about it, so we believe it's not a genre that needs to be technically defined but just felt. Christmas is a joyful celebration that reunites the whole family together, from kids to the elderly, in an emotional gathering. Sharing presents, eating traditional home made food, dressing with red and green colors, making the tree, filling the house with lights, and so many more details that make this holiday so special.
And of course, as there is no language more powerful than music, the Christmas songs that fill the season with joy, if we think about it, it wouldn't be the same without its music. So what makes Christmas music what it is, is the ability to evoke feelings of happiness, nostalgia, hope, family and overall sentimentality. The harmonies, melodies, tempos, everything is aligned to this purpose.
Apart from being an emotional holiday, it is also a very commercial one (kind of ruins the magic behind it) but as a business it is a very important time to make a difference. A big part of Christmas is indulgence, since people tend to have a higher disposable income and spend lots of money on gifts, food, and decoration. So when it comes to advertisement, having the perfect ad that makes people feel a connection to the holiday can help boost sales enormously. And music is one of the most important components on audiovisual projects, since it has more impact on feelings, and can create a catchy melody the audience will remember and enjoy. The same happens for those creating films, short stories, or content on social media related to this holiday.
Of course it can be very tempting to use well known songs like “All I want for Christmas is you” by Mariah Carey, which we know will make the audience immediately feel the Christmas vibe and engage, but you should be aware that using copyright music without a license is illegal and can bring very serious consequences. Even if you decide to get the license, this process can be extremely expensive, and most businesses don't have that type of budget for it. So the best option is to go for royalty free music, which will prevent your content from being banned while also giving you a fresh original sound that can help build your brand and the audience to recognize it as your own.
