The Riot Fest Holiday Music Collection + Staff Picks Playlist

If you’ve been a loyal reader of the RiotFest.org website, then you’ll know this is the time of year when we help you through the holiday season with the Riot Fest Approved Holiday Playlist, and this year is no different.

If you’re the person in charge of the music this awkward family holiday season, then you can pick from any one of our past playlists, or be lazy like everyone else and leave it up to the Riot Fest staff to pick your songs for you. Please, DJ responsibly.

Bonus Tracks: Check out the songs that aren’t on streaming services that couldn’t be on the playlist.
