Best Holiday Songs from LGBTQ+ Artists
Make your holidays even queerer with these songs!

Instagram; YouTube
Santa Claus season is here, and you better be ready with a sickening playlist of holiday songs released by LGBTQ+ artists!
From new holiday bops to classic Christmas anthems, queer people have been feeling jolly and channeling that festive energy through music for many years. Between established artists, mainstream drag performers, and up-and-coming queer musicians, there’s room for everybody at the holiday party.
After a few rough years of lockdown and a politically-charged 2022, this is the perfect time of year to slow down, relax, and feel the magic in the air. So make yourself some hot chocolate, watch some Christmas movies, and add the songs below to your holiday playlist!
Scroll through to check out the best holiday songs released by LGBTQ+ musicians.
