The Kickin’ Country Christmas Playlist is a compilation of our favorite classic – and some newer – country music holiday hits. Listen to the ones that mean the most to us and, just maybe, revive some of your yuletide cheer. No Mariah. No remixes. Just good old fashioned country Christmas music.

Happy Holidays from TJ, Jessica, Hunter, Jeff Cash and Thomas!

Hunter – Milk & Cookies by Clint Black
“Milk & Cookies” reminds me of my kids. We used to bake holiday cookies and do a cookie trade. They loved this song and I bought them Christmas jammies… Pre-Elf on a Stupid Shelf.

 

Hunter – A Willie Nice Christmas by Kacey Musgraves & Willie Nelson
Kacey Musgraves and Willie cause I love the voice. She was awesome on Daniel Island. I have that on vinyl and I love it.

 

Jessica – Oh Holy Night by Carrie Underwood
“Oh Holy Night” is my absolute favorite Christmas song! Carrie Underwood has the most amazing voice and she kills it! This song also reminds us of the “Reason for the Season”!

 

Jessica – Hard candy Christmas by Dolly Parton
This song reminds me of my grandparents and this will be the first Christmas without my Nanny!

 

TJ – Christmas Carol by Skip Ewing
It’s the story of two lonely people finding each other during the holidays. She wanted a home. He wanted to share the love. The holidays brought them together. It’s a song of hope. The world needs more hope. This song makes me happy… and hopeful.

 

TJ – Same Auld Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg
The holidays have always been a bit lonely for me. It’s a time when I think about the love I have lost over the years. My grandmother, too many lost friends and what-might-have-beens. I long for one last opportunity to tell them how I feel as the “snow turns into rain.”

 

Jeff Cash – Run Run Rudolph by Luke Bryan
For Luke, Christmas is about fun! And Luke’s version is fun and then some.

 

Jeff Cash – Candy Cane Christmas by Darius Rucker
Darius should do an album of every Christmas song ever recorded!  His voice was made to sing Christmas songs!
