Best holiday music curators

Use Groover to discover playlists, blogs, and radio stations that specialize in holiday music, Christmas songs, and festive pop. Filter by curator type and genre to find those actively seeking seasonal tracks. You can send your music directly and get guaranteed feedback within 7 days.

Holiday curators seek high-quality production, clear festive themes, and originality. Whether you make Christmas pop, winter jazz, or acoustic holiday covers, your track should evoke the seasonal mood while standing out from traditional classics. Strong melodies and professional mixing are essential.

Most holiday music curators start building playlists between August and October. Submitting your Christmas songs and festive tracks during this window gives you the best chance of being featured. Waiting until November or December is often too late for playlist consideration.

Offer a fresh take on festive themes. Mix traditional holiday elements with your unique style, whether that's indie pop, jazz, folk, or electronic. Mention any previous holiday releases or seasonal performance experience in your pitch to show you understand the niche.

Every curator on Groover responds within 7 days with feedback on your track. They may add your song to their holiday playlist, feature it on their blog, or play it on their radio show. If they don't share your music, you get your credits back. Response rates vary, but targeting the right curators increases your chances significantly.
