The Party

From ugly knit sweaters to exorbitant Christmas lights, the holidays can be cheesy. Thankfully we can turn to R&B, the genre gifted at taking the corniest moments in life and somehow finding a way to make all of it incredibly cool. This is the mission of The Marvin’s Room Christmas Party: finding the coolness in Christmas. The Marvin’s Room Christmas Party is a celebration of the holidays through funk and soul, the blues and Hip Hop. From Christmas classics to remixed carols, we’re covering it all. Press play, and join the fun!

The Marvin's Room Christmas Stream

Also once the party is over check out, The Marvin's Room Christmas Stream, a collection of R&B and soul songs dedicated to the holidays. The great thing about R&B is that it can take the corniest moments in life -- from the sappy sweetness of first love, to the humiliation of heartbreak -- and somehow find a way to make all of it incredibly sophisticated and deeply soulful. This stream is a curated selection of music that somehow has the power — in the midst of the red, green and glitter — to make Christmas undeniably cool.

With a hint of funk and a heavy dose of soul, a sprinkling of the blues and a dash of hip-hop, this stream is a healthy mix of Christmas classics alongside remixed carols. From Motown to Mariah and James Brown to Justin Bieber, the Marvin's Room Christmas stream is my holiday gift to you.

A celebration of the holidays through funk, soul, the blues and hip hop. From R&B renditions of Christmas classics to remixed carols, we're covering it all. Hear: James Brown 'Soulful Christmas', Jully Black 'Christmas Song', Eartha Kitt 'Santa Baby', Jackson 5 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus' and more.
