Cozy holiday music: videos with yule logs, winter scenes, and more

Need something to put on while you're cooking, hosting, or just hanging out this holiday season?

Feed Originals is Feed.fm's in-house music label. We work with world-class artists and composers to create functional music for apps, platforms, and businesses. The catalog is diverse: lo-fi, ambient, piano, pop, Latin, hip-hop, rock, meditation, nature sounds, and more. It ranges from fitness-focused tracks to wellness music for sleep and focus, plus ambient music for everyday use.

For the holidays, we pulled together a YouTube playlist featuring cozy, wintry tracks paired with ambient visuals like fireplaces and falling snow.

Here are a few highlights from the collection:

Soft Piano | Snowy Piano Instrumentals for a Cozy Holiday Season

Soft Snow is a 7-track compilation of mellow, reflective piano pieces. L.A.-based pianists Vassall and Francis Calder make up most of the tracklist, offering you quiet, unhurried energy.

We paired it with falling snow visuals because, well, it just made sense. It's the kind of thing you put on when guests are arriving, or later in the evening when everyone's winding down and the energy in the room has shifted. It also works well for an early morning or It also works well for an early morning or a solo night in.

Lo-Fi Holidays | Chill Winter Beats for Cozy Vibes

Classic holiday songs, but make it lo-fi.

This collection features Elf Mode, a new project from producer Layne Fox, putting a chill spin on "Deck The Halls," "Jingle Bells," and "Silent Night." Warm synths, vinyl crackle, scratchy textures, and the occasional "Ho Ho Ho" thrown in. Bay Area duo Kite Strings (Corey Black of 40 Thieves and Tim Babilla of ETI) rounds things out with a cozy take on "Joy to the World" built on vintage drum machines and mellow beats.

It's festive without being overwhelming. Good for a holiday dinner party, a lazy morning, or just having something on while you wrap presents at the last minute.
