Get your carrots out for Rudolph, it’s Christmas!
Kissing under a mistletoe, roasting chestnuts, pulling crackers. Christmas may not be your first thought when thinking of sexy times, and research states that leading up to Christmas we are having very little sex at all! We get it. Christmas is a very busy time, and your in-laws’ imminent arrival might not be the best event to get you in the mood.
With the knowledge that there is a huge decline in mistletoe kisses around Christmas, we have created the ultimate sexy Christmas playlist to cure your Winter loneliness and reignite those festive flames. We have ranked popular Christmas songs in terms of beats per minute and lyrics to spice up your festive period, so hang up your stockings and prepare for someone to slide down your chimney, as you press play on The Naughty List.
Armed with scientifically researched beats per minute, sexual and romantic keywords, and the five most popular Spotify Christmas playlists, we have created the ultimate festive playlist to stuff your turkey to.

Generally, the optimum beats per minute to hang your baubles up to starts at 110. A study from Harvard showed that beats per minute should not exceed 170, so we have included Christmas songs in this threshold.
The likes of legendary Louis Armstrong, Mariah Carey, and Ella Fitzgerald feature in this selection of songs, as well as some of the artists we turn to for our fix of cheesy music. Sprinkled amongst the more unusual or less common festive songs are also some absolute bangers like Jingle Bell Rock and Do They Know It’s Christmas.
You are guaranteed a good time with this playlist, but that’s not all...

All of these songs are within the BPM bracket which has been proven to be optimal for “festivities”, and the vast majority of them include sexual lyrics. A grown up playlist for grown up activities. Not every song is necessarily lyrically appropriate, but a playlist would be boring if it was all the same vibe! The playlist is here for any of your holiday needs, whether you are dancing around the kitchen or rockin’ around the Christmas tree.
It’s also a great playlist for alternative Christmas music! Yes, there are some more common songs on this playlist but they are sprinkled amongst some less common and more unusual Christmas songs. Learn some different music and have a jolly time this festive season.
There is the ultimate sexy Christmas playlist in terms of BPM and lyrical content. Some songs are, of course, more appropriate for the bedroom than others, but as long as you have fun that’s all that really matters!
