Free Holiday Music to Download
From classic Christmas songs to new tunes, rock, country, Celtic… If you’re looking for a little holiday atmosphere while you work / cook / PARTAY! then we’ve got some freebies for your listening pleasure.
I haven’t listed to every single one of the tracks on all these albums yet, but testing some out got me quite in the mood to wrap tinsel round my head. (Mr Cheap recognizes this as a sure danger sign. Next thing I’ll be chasing him round the house with a sprig of mistletoe.)
Free Holiday Music from Top Country Stars including Brad Paisley, Joe Nichols, Indigo Girls, Rascal Flatts and Steve Wariner, courtesy of People magazine and iTunes. Songs we all love include Deck the Halls, Little Drummer Boy and O Holy Night. You need iTunes to download, or get it free at the link. The holiday Country music is available till January 7, 2011.
The Christmas Gig Free MP3 13-track sampler album from Target features original holiday songs. Some of it is pretty snappy stuff, with artists including Guster, Blackalicious, Natalie Hemby, and the rather fabulous Little Isidore with an old-time, feel-good swing style. You can download all 13 tracks or hear them individually by scrolling down the page at the link to each performer.
25 Days of Free Holiday Songs from Amazon, including Indigo Girls, Chris Isaak, Shelby Lynne and more. Not sure how long they’ll be available, so download the free MP3 fast if there’s one you like.
Music World Free Holiday Sampler Album with 7 tracks featuring artists including Destiny’s Child.
(Also from Amazon, as are the rest in this list.)
Chacra World Music Holiday Sampler Five tracks with a touch of Celtic soul, from the jigging it up to the lyrical.
The Incredible Singing Christmas Tree A Veggie Tales free 16 track album for the kids.
Sugo Music Free Holiday Sampler Five relaxing instrumentals for those more mellow moments over the holidays. (Huh? Hello? Are we on the same planet?)

If you know of any Taos bands with free downloads by iTunes or MP3 that we can import to our various music playing devices, please let me know.
Thanks to our frugal friends Jennifer at Atlanta on the Cheap and Evelyn at The Big Apple on the Cheap for a couple of these tips. And thanks to Mr Cheap for letting me chase him with mistletoe.
Note: I’ve given you my affiliate links to plug you directly to the Amazon deals. If you feel like sending a little love this way to help support Taos on the Cheap, please use the link.
