The Holidays are upon us, and you can prepare for the celebration by getting the right music together.
Why not stick with Canadian artists while you're at it? Here are our suggestions of albums to get if you don't have them already:
1. Justin Bieber - Under The Mistletoe
Mixing hip-hop with Christmas cheers, adding guest Busta Rhymes, and the band Perry, Biebs gives teenage girls a sparkly Christmas
2. Oscar Peterson - An Oscar Peterson Christmas
We could very well put a list of albums together without thinking about Oscar Peterson, the legend. Perfect for dinner music with the smooth jazz vibe he is known for.
3. Celine Dion - These Are Special Times
This year is the first for Celine without her manager husband, and we all are sympathizing with her. Which reminds us that despite a lot of people hiding in their Celine closet, it’s ok to come out and say you love her. This album sold 12 million copies for a reason after all.
4. Sarah McLachlan - Wonderland
The singer’s last album is in fact a Christmas album. Taking on hymns such as ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’ and ‘Angels We Have Heard on High’, but also more contemporary ones like ‘Let It Snow’, McLachlan shines and makes you want to stay cozy by the fireplace.
5. Michael Bublé - Christmas
This is a hard year for the Canadian crooner. Let’s send love while listening to his 2011 album which incidentally is also his best selling album at 9 million copies sold.
