A musicologist studied a bunch of Christmas songs. Looked at things like lyrics, tempo, vocals, everything.

And the most popular holiday songs have these things:

  • a tempo of 115 beats per minute in 4/4 time
  • in the key of C or A major
  • sleigh bells in the chorus
  • lyrics that mention Christmas, snow, Santa, peace, and love

They wrote a song with all of those ingredients. It’s called ‘Love’s Not Just For Christmas’.

Take a listen it above.

You should feel all warm and fuzzy now.
