We are huge fans of holiday music. Each year we try to seek out as many new songs as we can find to further fill out our extensive holiday playlist.
And we attempt to do it for free.
That’s right! There is so much free holiday music out there, that each season we are able to add several hundred tunes to our collection. You just need to know where to look.
Free downloads are somewhat harder to come by than they used to be. The big push to convince people to stream music instead of owning it outright has led many purveyors (like Amazon, for instance) to offer “playlists” and streams, rather than true downloads. But they are still out there.
Here are a few starting places for you:
Noise trade: Many artists use free downloads from Noisetrade as a way to gain fans. And this is no less true for the holiday season. Head over to the Noisetrade website and type Holiday or Christmas into the search bar. You’ll instantly see dozens of albums, eps and singles available for free download.
iTunes: Each week, the Apple iTunes store offers a free download from one of its many artists. Stop by and add few free tunes!
Let us know if you find other reliable sources for free holiday tunes and we’ll add them to the list!!
