"I love good holiday decorations just as much as the next person, but nothing helps me get into the spirit of the season quite like a holiday song can. Holiday music just brings an unmatched energy to this time of year and makes every single moment nostalgic, sentimental, and carefree.

We all have our own music tastes, after all, which is why I set out to find the best holiday song for every sign of the zodiac.

Whether you’re a spunky Aries, hardworking Capricorn, or sentimental Pisces, there’s a holiday song out there for everyone. This is the holiday song you should listen to today based on your zodiac sign:
Aries
Bold, energetic, and fearless, Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You is the perfect representation of the indomitable Aries spirit. They unapologetically go after what they want, and the lyrics “I just want you for my own” and “baby all I want for Christmas is you” totally exemplify how Aries are completely willing to shoot their shot at any moment. Plus, Aries signs are obsessed with being the best, and since Mariah Carey is the undisputed “Queen of Christmas,” it’s only fitting that this zodiac sign is backed by her biggest holiday hit.
Taurus
Taurus signs love to be pampered. This zodiac sign has a natural affinity for the finer things in life and has no qualms about slowing down long enough to stop and smell the roses. Like the ladies of Destiny’s Child, they can’t be bothered with stress this season. Instead, you’ll find them sipping some bubbly, shopping, and making sure they get everything on their wish list. Whether Taurus hears the lyrics “How I love him for his generosity, my man, my man, my baby” and thinks of an actual person or Santa Claus, this is the Taurus anthem for the holiday season.
Gemini
Geminis have a notorious reputation for being one of the most flighty and indecisive signs of the zodiac, and this can sometimes make them unlucky in love. But like Wham!, they have no trouble bouncing back after heartbreak. Their playful nature is just too strong to keep down. The lyrics “Once bitten, and twice shy” and “Now I’ve found a real love you’ll never fool me again” in Last Christmas encapsulate Geminis’ ability to learn from their mistakes and move on to bigger and better things. If Gemini wants an updated version of this classic, they can always rewatch Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter belt it out in A Nonsense Christmas over and over.
Cancer
Anyone who knows a Cancer knows that they’re a true empath, and their deeply perceptive and sensitive nature makes them natural caretakers. Nothing makes them happier than being at home with their favorite people, which is why The Christmas Song by Michael Bublé is their ideal holiday jam. Not only does the song capture the coziness of the season, but it also paints the picture of the perfect holiday evening: chestnuts roasting on an open fire and carolers singing while it’s snowing outside. The perfect cozy Cancer vibe.
Leo
No holiday song captures the confidence of a Leo quite like Buy Me Presents by Sabrina Carpenter does. In true Sabrina fashion, she demands that her lover lavish her with either extravagant gifts or sexual favors for the holidays—or she’ll find someone else (… Santa Claus) who will. If you’re a Leo, Buy Me Presents will speak to your innate desire to own the spotlight and meet someone special during the holidays. Honestly, Sabrina Carpenter’s entire Fruitcake album gives big Leo energy.
Virgo
Virgos are inherent perfectionists known for their attention to detail and practical, analytical minds. Because of this, they typically struggle with being vulnerable in romantic relationships (trust me, I would know—I’m a Virgo). Santa Tell Me embodies this struggle, as Ariana alternates between wanting to let herself fall for someone and waiting until she has confirmation she won’t be alone next year. More importantly, though, the line, “‘Cause I can’t give it all away if he won’t be here next year,” affirms the importance of staying true to yourself and not giving in to fleeting matters of the heart during the holidays.
Libra
Venus, the planet of love and beauty, rules Libra signs. This, naturally, makes them hopeless romantics, and Mistletoe by Justin Bieber lyrically captures that energy. The way teenage JB croons about it being “the most beautiful time of the year” and his inability to look away from his lover evokes the kind of romantic feelings that can only be found this time of year. Regardless of whether you’re single or coupled this holiday season, listening to Mistletoe will inspire you to put yourself out there and embrace the magic of this time of year.
Scorpio
Is any song besides Santa Baby more fitting for the most sexual sign of the zodiac? Similar to how Eartha Kitt tempts her lover in this song, Scorpios have a naturally mysterious aura that makes them incredibly alluring. They know how to draw people in with the promise of getting to know them more behind closed doors. No matter who you’re romancing this season, listening to Santa Baby will help you tap into your sensual side and make you the ultimate holiday seductress.
Sagittarius
As the wanderlust sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius has an innate desire for adventure. And Holiday Road by Kesha perfectly captures the fun, chaotic energy of the holidays. Nothing’s going to slow a Sagittarius down this season, and this recently released bop will inspire them to hit the ground running and live life to the fullest until New Year’s Day.
Capricorn
Capricorns are diligent overachievers who pride themselves on their work ethic. Sometimes, though, keeping their eyes on the prize can backfire—they can easily get lost in their work, much like Meghan admits to doing in I’ll Be Home. However, as she realizes the holidays are right around the corner, she promises her lover that she’ll be home in time to celebrate come hell or high water. For a Capricorn, I’ll Be Home serves as a stark reminder to cherish the holiday season because it goes by in an instant; work can wait, but the holidays won’t.
Aquarius
Progressive, rebellious, and inventive, Aquarius loves nothing more than shattering the status quo. They enjoy breaking away from traditions, and although the song is 11 years old now, Underneath the Tree has a more modern, upbeat feel than traditional holiday classics. It’s fun, quirky, and most importantly, completely unserious—much like you, Aquarius.
Pisces
A traditional holiday song is in order for nostalgic and sentimental Pisces. Sleigh Ride is a classic for a reason: The light orchestral piece flawlessly depicts the winter season. Since Pisces has a unique and vivid imagination, the lyrics magically transport them to a sleigh ride in the middle of winter. What’s more, it’ll also bring them back to a simpler time when the holidays were all that mattered at the end of the year—and that’s the kind of energy suited for a Pisces this holiday season.
