Instrumental Christmas Music for Seasonal Content
Audiosocket's instrumental holiday collection is royalty-free Christmas music with no vocals on any track, built for festive content that has to sit under a voiceover. Keyboards, percussion, acoustic guitar and mallet instruments lead, ranging from Steve Rice's solo piano 'The First Noel' and Dorian Charnis's 'Silent Night Jazz' to a few hip hop instrumental beats. Tracks average around two and a half minutes, ideal for holiday ads, promos, YouTube intros and social posts.

About this Playlist
All the tracks in this holiday collection are instrumental; there are no vocals anywhere in the collection. Keyboards and percussion lead most often, followed by acoustic guitar, mallet instruments, electric guitar, world instruments and strings. That makes it the safest festive pick for content with voiceover, presenter dialogue or product narration, because nothing in the music competes for the words. If you want sung Christmas songs, this is not the collection for that.
Familiar carols in new instrumental arrangements make up much of the collection. Titles include 'Silent Night Jazz' by Dorian Charnis, 'The First Noel (Solo Piano)' and a bluesy 'Hark The Herald Angels Sing' by Steve Rice, 'Jingle Bells' by Beacons, '12 Days of Christmas' and a second 'The First Noel' by Mark Petrie, 'Joy to the World (Instrumental)' by Beckah Shae and 'Auld Lang Syne' by Mike Strickland, which carries the set through New Year. Originals like 'Jingle Bell Postcard (Instrumental)' sit alongside them.
Short by catalog standards: tracks average about two and a half minutes, noticeably briefer than most full-length songs. That suits the way holiday content is usually built, where a 15- or 30-second spot, a story-format social clip or a YouTube intro needs a clear festive hook quickly. Because nothing is sung, you can also trim at almost any bar without cutting off a lyric, which makes fitting a loop or a bumper to picture much simpler.
Contemporary holiday arrangements form the core, but a jazz strand runs through the collection, tagged with sounds-like references to Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson, and there are a couple of hip hop instrumental beats plus single cuts of swing/big band, orchestral pop, new age, funk and country. Moods are mostly happy, with calm and inspiring pieces for reflective moments and swagger on the beat-driven tracks. That range lets one collection cover a warm brand film, a lively promo and a chilled podcast bed.
The same holiday ad can run again next year: every license issued through Audiosocket is perpetual for the specific finished work it covers, so a holiday ad, promo or video you completed this season stays cleared when you re-run it in future seasons, even if your subscription has ended. The license also covers commercial use including client work, ads, monetized YouTube, podcasts and social. Subscriptions bill monthly or annually and allow unlimited licensing during the term for any new edits you produce.
