While it's quite easy to find worthy Christmas tunes on almost any radio station, we prepared the perfect playlist that's very very Jersey.

It's almost here...

We're deep into the holiday season and, as chestnuts roast on an open fire, eggnog prepared and with last-minute gifts wrapped, there's certainly no shortage of holiday music to play in the background.



While it's quite easy to find worthy Christmas tunes on almost any radio station -- online, cable or terrestrial -- we figured we'd make things a bit easier and prepare for you the ultimate New Jersey holiday music playlist.



Our list features prominent New Jersey musicians and singers, from Sinatra to Bruce to Connie Francis to My Chemical Romance. You'll also find a mixture of perfect holiday standards, jazzy instrumentals, and some uptempo toe tappers.

And while there are some obvious choices that you'd expect, there are a few others here you probably wouldn't. If you think we left someone noteworthy off the list, feel free to let us know in the comments.

In order to listen to the playlist, you'll need a free Spotify account.
