99.1 The Mix 6 Pop queens who turned Christmas into a dance party

6 Pop queens who turned Christmas into a dance party

With Christmas around the corner, it is perfectly acceptable for you to blast your favorite holiday tunes loud enough for all those in close proximity to you to hear, if that’s what you’re into.

That said, and in no disrespect to your favorite classic Christmas songs, but if you’re looking to add a little more Pop to your holiday playlist, then um, what a coincidence, because you’ve totally come to the right place.

Thanks to Pop queens like Mariah, Ariana, Katy and Gaga who blessed us all with these very merry tunes, you ‘ll be able to turn any Christmas gathering into a straight up dance party. Again, if that’s what you’re into.

Listen any time on Audacy's Women of Christmas Exclusive Station above, and celebrate the festive cheer and positive vibes we're serving with these 6 banging Christmas bops below.

1 Mariah Carey - "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

Obviously. Because honestly, is it really officially Christmas unless you listen to “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

2 Ariana Grande - "Santa Tell Me"

Doesn't it just fill you with Christmas cheer to know we can always count on Ari for an original Christmas bop.

3 Lady Gaga - "Christmas Tree"

Not only does this sound like The Fame–era Gaga (which, duh, makes sense, since it was released in 2008), but it's also filled with cheeky lyrics. So obviously, we’re obsessed.

4 Sia - "Candy Cane Lane"

Every song on Sia’s holiday album is a keeper, but she really does slay it with “Candy Cane Lane.” Seriously try not to get your Christmas cheer dance on when this song is playing.

5 Katy Perry - "Cozy Little Christmas"

Because when Katy Perry gave us a quirky, up-tempo holiday song, with a campy music video to accompany it, you just put it on your Christmas Pop playlist — no questions asked.

6 Meghan Trainor - "My Kind of Present"

Megan’s love of Christmas led her to put out an entire album of holiday tunes. But out of all of her Christmas bops, “My Kind of Present” happens to be our personal favorite.
