Forget presents and twinkle lights, I’m of the belief that nothing gets people in the holiday spirit quite like Christmas workout songs. Music can make or break a group fitness class, and it has a huge impact on the energy of a class, so it’s no surprise that Christmas music is an ideal way to make your holiday fitness classes feel fun and special. I’ve shared the top motivational songs for Group X a few months back, and now here are 29 Christmas workout songs to try.

Ready to listen to the songs? Check out my Spotify playlist here.
I picked these songs, because they are all fast-paced, upbeat songs great for strength or spin classes. Of course, I had to include my all-time favorite Christmas song, “All I Want for Christmas is You,” by Mariah Carey, which has a great beat for holiday-themed workouts.

Christmas Workout Outfit Ideas
A themed Christmas workout calls for a themed Christmas workout outfit. I am obsessed with Born Primitive’s Champagne collection. It’s red, white, and pine green with gold flecked sparkles.
