This year we are taking Christmas  to the islands — from the Caribbean to the North Pacific, we’ve got warm weather Christmas music with a maritime twist. Steel drums, slide guitars, and ukeleles… it’s all about the warm-weather Christmas sound.

And if a summertime holiday isn’t your vibe during Christmas this year, check out some of our other Christmas Mixtapes from previous years: The 80’s Christmas Mixtape, Christmas at the Movies, A LoFi Christmas, A Whiskey Soaked Indie Rock Christmas Mixtape, A Classical Christmas Mixtape, The Christmas Mixtape 2000! or still our most popular Christmas mixtape of all time: The Big Band Christmas Mixtape.

If Spotify is your music platform of choice, we’ve put all the Christmas Mixtapes on our Spotify channel for you to shuffle up the Christmas spirit there.

As mentioned in the podcast, check out our Ten Year Anniversary album in beautiful translucent yellow vinyl. Available in a limited-edition marbled blue vinyl as well. If you want to give the record a sample before you buy, have a listen on our special anniversary mixtape podcast here.

And last but not least, if you are in the Christmas spirit, please go support the Heart N Soul Christmas Fundraiser by visiting their JustGiving fundraising page to give what you can.
