'Tis the Season for Holiday Hits

The stores are already full of holiday decorations (and have been for 6 weeks already), and pumpkin spice is already being replaced with Peppermint as the preferred flavor of the season.  It may not be a Winter Wonderland quite yet, but it is time to start planning to bring the Holidays into your game presentation. Let’s highlight a few tracks that are label priorities this season and are easy (and affordable) to license for in-stadium or social media use. 

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24"

This is a stadium staple! TSO created an iconic instrumental track that fuses rock and orchestral elements for an epic, high-energy track that's become a festive favorite. This is a perfect holiday track to use as a show open, hype video or a social media promo. Contact us for quick and easy licensing of this fan favorite. 

Bad Religion - "White Christmas"

A punk-rock take on the timeless classic brings raw energy and attitude, giving it a fresh, edgy spin. It's ideal for adding a rebellious twist to your holiday lineup. This track would make a ruckus hype reel going into the 3rd period or coming out of a time out when energy is needed from fans.  It would also make for a fun “hard-hit” video for hockey or football use in stadium and social media.

DJ Jesse Marco - "It's The Holidays"

An upbeat electronic celebration song with catchy beats designed to keep energy high. This release is perfect for injecting fun into your presentations. Incorporate it into DJ sets during game breaks in-stadium or fun reels on social media.

Debbie Gibson - "Christmas Star"

A feel-good pop tune with sparkling melodies and joyful lyrics, making it a feel-good addition to the season. This is a track that would work great as a dance team routine.  We also see it being used to highlight community holiday events with your team.

Maddox Batson - "Last Christmas"

A youthful, modern cover of the Wham! classic. Maddox is a 15-year-old budding superstar on the Warner Music label.  The track may make a good kiss cam as it’s a more mellow holiday vibe but he is available for halftime shows or other in-stadium performances. 

These tracks are a starting point to help bring the Holiday spirit into your game presentation.  Of course, we are here to assist with your music licensing needs throughout the entire year and can chase down any track (holiday or otherwise) you may need.  Call or email John Adams at The Score to get started on your holiday licensing.

We want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all the teams who've trusted The Score as their go-to music resource, to keep in-stadium tracks fresh and turning to us for music licensing solutions. We truly appreciate our colleagues across the sports world and wish you all a very happy holiday season!
