Today I'm sharing something very close to my heart: my holiday vibes playlist on Spotify! As most of you know that have been here for some time, music is everything to me. Before I started to fall in love with film just this year, music and gaming were my ultimate vices in life. When I was younger, I loved burning CDs for people I cared about the most. I'd sit for hours and carefully pick songs that I imagined they'd love or songs that I was obsessed with at the time. To my friends, I was always the go-to music person. Forever the passenger seat DJ during long road trips to wherever we were going next. Picking songs & decorating CD covers with sharpie has always been my love language. So, this playlist is my modern-day version of that to you! Minus the Limewire stress and questionable file names lolSo here I'm sharing with you all 'A Wizard's Winter Evening' playlist. A Spotify playlist of all the songs that make this season feel magical, soft, wintry and comforting to me this year that I want to share with you! ✨ I hope you listen to this while the lights are low, some candles are lit, and maybe it'll make the world a little softer for you in the moment like it does for me!Listen on Spotify ✨: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7r7V5mRRyQ9SdOYIKrI8ua?si=d1eae7685b9c407dListen on YouTube ✨: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKatkM-EigBbNZp7zme0VREAMpol-Y625&si=KVjSeis7WEFD_PNK

Music holds a special place in my heart too, Kali! Thank you for sharing your story about you love for music with us! :) Sincerely, Heidi

KJ

Thank you Kali. Would it be OK if I copied this Playlist to YouTube music and post it here?

I love the Skyrim ones. πŸ₯°πŸ₯° I don't have a Spotify account, but imma check out some of em on my YouTube music account. Cause I liked the Room of Hidden Things, and Shani. I'm digging the Hogwarts Legacy musics. πŸ₯°πŸ₯° And Snowman, imma look out for that one in the store I work at. πŸ˜‚

Awesome

Life was better with CDs.

Andrew Thompson

"Mix tapes" are a sacred memory of mine as well! (Yeah, I'm THAT old! I remember the 1st CDs when they released)

Doom 7bz

Nice thanks have a nice holiday

Robert da Spruce

Kids today are like β€œwhat’s a CD? And why would you burn it?” πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚ Will definitely have a listen when I get a chance! Thx for sharing!

Darian Harman

Harry Connick Jr. is just sublime. If you don't have a fireplace, just put on his music and he'll take you there.

Andy Jordan

Thank you so much for sharing something so personal like your favorite music with us. I'll be sure to give it a listen. I used to do a similar thing at Christmastime back in the day. I used to love when Starbucks did their Artist's Choice series, where a selected artist would choose music that was important to them and they'd make a CD compilation of that music with the artist's notes on why they liked that music (my favorite one is Joni Mitchell's). So I used to do the same thing: every holiday season for a few years, I made my own mix CDs called "Andy's Choice" - I curated the music choices, wrote liner notes, and then gave them out/mailed them to all my friends. I don't know why I stopped, but it was a lot of fun doing it. For me, these are the best Christmas albums of all-time, without which Christmas is not complete for me until I've listened to each one: 1) Merry Christmas (Bing Crosby); 2) The First Christmas Morning (Dan Fogelberg); 3) The Christmas Trilogy (Trans-Siberian Orchestra); 4) A Very Special Christmas (the first one); 5) Joy to the World (Pink Martini); 6) A Dreamer's Christmas (John Zorn); 7) A Charlie Brown Christmas (Vince Guaraldi); 8) Midwinter Graces (Tori Amos); 9) A Midwinter Night's Dream (Loreena McKennitt); 10) Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas (Ella Fitzgerald). Happy holidays, all!

Christian

Love it πŸ’–

Daniel Morgan

PLEASE do. 😭😭 Hopefully. Cause I kept thinking about shuffling them on a Christmas night.

MattyK

This is the coolest Patreon thing I've seen in the few years I've been using it. I LOVE this idea so much. Music is everything. EDIT: Since you shared, I'm sharing for anyone feeling up for something new. This album has a distinct wintery feel. It's not Christmasy, but it has some amazing sounds and is one of my all time favs. https://open.spotify.com/album/3aaMFKKvaE66uTd4agSUwV?si=e0lKhsQQQu2AgBkK0OTSdw

Phil Stubblefield

Wow, how incredibly thoughtful! Thank you, Kali! πŸ’œ This gift is so very apropos because I was blessed with a wonderful evening of music last night, meeting new concert friends, sharing a fantastic VIP session, and finally enjoying a sensational concert with the band Couch! IYKYK! https://www.couchtheband.com/

Phil Stubblefield

Ditto! I'm right there with you, brother! Sitting here at my computer, I can still look over and see my collection of about 400 CDs (all of which were long ago ripped to MP3s to help create my collection of over 5,000 tracks). I'll bet some of you here can beat me!

Danza777

I absolutely love this. You go above and beyond on here 😊 You’re such an amazing soul and I’m looking forward to many more reactions ☺️

Andrew Thompson

It's crazy how powerful music can be... and I think that's why it's so amazing to share it with loved ones.

Bernie Zwicky

You really do go out of your way to reach out to your followers and treat them like family! This is such a thoughtful and touching gesture! Have you ever thought of adding music reactions or would that be too overwhelming? Although, it sounds like you would probably know most of the songs already, lol. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful gift with us!😊❀️

Growing up, my entire friend group was full of music people. We did the band thing as well as other stuff related to music but I was always considered the "main music person" because I was constantly finding new songs/bands and sharing them with everyone. I was the guy that was constantly hunting for music, risking virus' on my PC downloading music from Napster then Limewire and finally Frostwire all to burn the next CD. And you know as silly as it may sound, I took it really seriously. Always wanting to make sure the new CD I brought to a party or whatever moment was going to be great. Music always was and always will be very important to me. Point is I know how personal sharing a mixtape/playlist can be and it's very much appreciated.

Rogue_ML

i absolutely love this list! thanks for sharing!!!

M1 Maz

I totally do the same! You know how important music has always been for me. And I used to, and still do, make so many hand crafted playlists for different people and moods. Thanks for sharing!

Brina Blue

This is so kind of you! I'm going to check it out!

This is great! I'm loving the playlist. Thank you for sharing, Kali. My personal favorite is Carrie Underwood's Christmas Special "My Gift", which you can find on HBO Max. Happy Holidays!

"What's a CD? And why would you burn it?" 🀣🀣🀣

Chris Truex

I was one of the first in my grade to get a CD burner, and for a while I was King of the Music

Black_TYGR

Oh yeah…this playlist has your name all over it. Thanks for sharing, Kali. The burning of CD days with Napster were both wild and fun times!

Lastboyscout73

Music is very important to me as well. Although I mostly grew up loving metal/rock music, I have an eclectic taste and can listen to many things when the mode strikes me. It ends about 2010 for me though, but sometimes a new song will grab my attention. Too much auto-tune out there for me anymore. On the 3rd day of Christmas my true love gave to me: 3 french toast, 2 turtlenecks and a beer. There should be more there, eh?

Dave Olden

Thank you for this wonderful playlist! It'll be playing a lot around here! Although I've added a track: Main Title "Somewhere in My Memory" (From "Home Alone") - John Williams, The American Boychoir & Boston Pops Orchestra ... which I just played and together with "Up" this morning, I'm halfway tempted to bill you for the boxes of tissues I went through! (An exaggeration -- though not by much ...)

Jonas Vanderstraeten

Music is my comfort. It's my escape from a world that is ever more confusing to me. As a millenial I progressed through perfecting pushing the record and play button at exactly the right time when a song started on the radio, then learned to rip and burn cd's, then the peak times of mp3 players and downloading to now streaming. From my cd-burning days I mainly remember being proud of all the silly names I gave my mixes :D Thank you for the comforting tunes :)

Kenji Kita

Nice playlist. A good mix. Have you ever listened to Sufjan Stevens’ Songs for Christmas album?

David Perkins

best gift ever! thanks so much for this Kali.

Paul T

Thank you! I will be listening to this at work tonight. Merry Christmas

Great Playlist thanks for sharing it! I also checked out the Mass Effect Playlist. There's quite a few bands on there from when I was in High School and a few years after. So 2 great playlists so far! IMO you have great taste in music! Have a wonderful evening, Kali! Happy Holidays l, David

James Park

Thank you Kali for sharing this playlist I cant wait to listen to it

JOE

Well done. πŸ‘

Richard

Ah yes music, one of the Great Gifts. Art, music, poetry, love; so many gifts for humans to express and enjoy. A very thoughtful gift for us, thank you Kali. My wife and I love to listen to our favorite music while doing a jigsaw puzzle, we’ve done over 100 since Covid first hit and I have photos to prove it πŸ˜‚ You are really separating yourself from the pack with the stuff you’ve been doing here; we are the most fortunate bunch on the webs. Nice variety on this playlist too! I thought of a fun contest for 2026 - we try to pick the exact date you hit 100k. Winner gets 2 movie tickets (kidding). After careful calculation I have picked the date that is so dear to me, the date you reacted to Endgame. March 7.

kaliwali

Yesss, music is so healing 🀍 Glad you enjoyed the playlist share! Thank you, Heidi!

kaliwali

Yes yes by all means! That would be amazing!

kaliwali

Room of Hidden Things is so mesmerizing! I loooooved it when I played through Hogwarts Legacy ✨

kaliwali

I agree!! Mix tapes are definitely a form of love language 🩷

kaliwali

I'm dead 🀣🀣🀣😭😭

kaliwali

Ooo thank you for the recommend & I'll definitely do that!

kaliwali

I remember loving the Starbucks Artist's Choice series as well! Oh man.. You brought back some cherished Barnes and Nobles memories for me. I'd pick a book, get a hot latte & get lost in the Artist's Choice series for a few hours before they closed. I used to love doing my statistics homework there too when I picked it up as an extra college course during the winter break. Thank you for sharing your favorites! I noticed Tori Amos' Midwinter Graces and I'm realizing I forgot to include that one in this playlist. I love her voice 🀍

kaliwali

I love that you shared a playlist back with me!! Saving it & listening later tonight while I get some edits done. Thank you, Matty!! Glad you're loving this Yule-Twelve idea ✨ The Twitch streamer in me had to show some flair for the holiday season somehow so I'm so happy to see so many of you love this idea!

kaliwali

I just opened the playlist and I LOVE Minus the Bear! 🀍

kaliwali

That sounds like such an amazing evening!! Thank you for sharing back, I will definitely check them out! 🀍

kaliwali

I'm going to post this in the original post, thank you for doing this KJ!

kaliwali

I'm glad you're loving my way of giving back to you all amazing followers out there! 🀍 I've thought about music reactions but I feel like I have listened to soooooo much music that it'd be impossible to find stuff I haven't heard before to react to haha 🀣

kaliwali

Yessss! I was the same way. Constantly finding new songs/bands because I was constantly listening and I'd introduce my friends to all the new music that somehow almost always ended up super popular a few months later 🀣 Everyone always said I was a music oracle LOL I was also the same with my computer lol. Limewire and then eventually Frostwire as well. I also took it VERY serious so I totally get it! I would spend soooo much time planning the songs to fit the vibe of whatever we were doing. Road trip, party, trip to the mall, someone I loved. I would then spend another few hours just rearranging each song so that when listened to on a CD you should always start with the first one and move through them in that specific order 😹πŸ”₯ Maybe a bit OCD as well, but yeah. I feel you on the seriousness of music! I'm glad you appreciate it and that we have that in common!! Very awesome!

kaliwali

Ooo I love that one, too!! Happy Holidays Wil!

kaliwali

Napster, Limewire, Frostwire... All the viruses but zero of the cares for free music hahaha

kaliwali

LOL I feel you on the box of tissues lately! I keep meaning to put some in my office but always forget and regret it later 🀣😭 Especially lately it seems! Also great addition to the playlist!!

kaliwali

I feel the same exact way about music!! I'm glad you can enjoy a comforting playlist from me now! I love getting lost in music for a few hours still. And oh mannn, I remember the days of how difficult it was to put together playlists and strip them while risking the health of the family computer LOL

kaliwali

Yes!! I loove Sufjan Stevens and their Christmas album is one of my favorites! I'm surprised I forgot to add at least one of their songs to this list πŸ‘€

kaliwali

Ahh awesome! Glad you've been loving my playlists!!

kaliwali

I hope you enjoy, James! 🀍

Jose Morales

Can't wait to listen to this playlist.

Eric Capretta

Awesome! I need a Christmas playlist

kaliwali

Omg that's amazing! I'm planning on taking some time to finally break out the puzzle table from you (THANK YOU So much again!) and put together the harry potter puzzle together over the holidays 🀍 I'll definitely be throwing on some music and making some tea for that! I can't wait! And that's a hilarious contest but not sure about those logistics LOL. I'll hold you to the March 7th date for 100k though. Seems amazing but we will have to wait and see what happens!

Morah-SDG

Gonna be playing this on the five days leading up to Xmas!!

Oueff! I forgot about the viruses. Haha

Thanks Kali. for the playlist. Yes, burning CDs for those that you care about and in my case waiting on the radio to record your mix TAPE is a love language. Someone that takes the time to do that, shows how much you really care. To quote K2SO, "Your behavior, Kali, is continually unexpected," <3

Kal

Beautiful playlist, it's such a delicate attention to do this on top of sharing your emotions and thoughts on your reactions, it's a very special place you've created for us here. Thanks again for all you do, big and small.

kaliwali

I'd love to start those! but I feel like I've heard soooooo much music that it'd be impossible to find stuff to react to that I haven't listened to yet 🀣

kaliwali

Yessss! It's 100% a love language! Music is everything 🀍

kaliwali

I'm glad you loved this, Kal!

Joe Blankenship

One of my favorite singers is Martin Sexton. He's got a really nice Christmas album called "Camp Holiday." If you like soulful bluesy folk music, check him out. His voice is incredible.

kaliwali

Ooo I feel like he sound familiar but I'l give him a listen, thank you!

Andrew Thompson

Wow, I thought I mentioned how awesome that playlist is but just discovered I didn't! I'm sorry! I was walking through my living room about twenty years ago when this absolute angel came in my TV on a music channel called VH1. It was Tori Amos, live, performing 'Winter'... I just stopped, feel into my chair and just stared memorized... I've been a huge fan ever since.
