Caity Weaver loves holiday music. She also loves throwing parties. A few years ago, she set a goal: Create the ideal holiday music playlist for the ideal holiday party. Little did she know that it would become an obsession. Throughout the year, she collects new holiday music, and each December finds her spending hours refining her playlist — adding, subtracting and rearranging songs in pursuit of party soundtrack perfection.
Just in time for this holiday season, Weaver shares the 2024 edition of her playlist, and explains why it is the ideal sonic backdrop for your soiree.
