I love Christmas music!

There I said it.

If I could listen to it all year long I could without being thought that I was crazy I would.

But still, I know better and yet as soon as it is socially acceptable like right after the turkey is served and cold on Thanksgiving, I will start jamming to my favorite Christmas tunes.

I listen to a wide range from classics such as, Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” to Ronnie Spector’s “Christmas Gift for You” right through recent favorites of Michael Buble, “Christmas” and Nashville’s, “Christmas with Nashville” .

I also love to bake, especially Christmas cookies with my girls as these two are both my little baking helpers.

When we together bake Christmas cookies, we most definitely are rocking out to Christmas tunes.

The holidays and Christmas here can be expensive though.

Whereas back in the day, I used to listen to pre-owned records, then tapes and even CDs, now I stream music to hear our favorites.

But streaming music can get costly.

But there is a solution…

That is why I was truly so happy and thankful to learn during a recent Walmart shopping trip that T-Mobile has come up with pre-paid plans (which Walmart conveniently carries for times like these).

T-Mobile Prepaid Plans

Upon inquiring, I found out about Music Freedom, which is an included feature of the T-Mobile Simple Choice Plans that allows you to stream UNLIMITED quantity of music at high speed without counting against your data usage,such as NO EXTRA CHARGE and NO LIMITS!

So essentially I could listen to as much music I wanted from any music service you want like Spotify, Pandora, iTunes and HUNDREDS more without it counting against my monthly data limits!

T-Mobile Simply Prepaid

I am an Apple Music girl all the way and was so excited to hear this. So, I purchased the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Core Prime PrePaid Phone and $50 Monthly T-Mobile Simple Choice™ prepaid plan. I used while baking our first Christmas cookie of the holiday season, Hershey Kisses Peppermint Candy Thumbprint Cookies.

It was a huge success to be able to bake these Hershey Kisses cookies , while streaming all my top Christmas music choices.  I will be listening to more unlimited Christmas music with my T-Mobile Music Freedom plan as I bake more cookies.

Would you like to find out what was on my Christmas music playlist?

Here is my Christmas music playlist:

  1. Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas
  2. Michael Buble’s Christmas
  3. Christmas with Nashville
  4. The Beach Boys Christmas Album
  5. Bob River’s Twisted Christmas which includes, The 12 Pains of Christmas
  6. Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga sing Winter Wonderland
  7. Ronnie Spector’s Christmas Gift for You
  8. Bing Crosby’s White Christmas
  9. Christmas with the Chipmunks
  10. A Charlie Brown Christmas
  11. A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra
  12. Happy Xmas (War Is Over) John Lennon

    I always crank the Christmas music… pretty much from the day after Thanksgiving on. I love many of the same ones as you, and also Harry Connick, some Christian mix CDs and instrumental tracks. Ho, Ho, Ho!

  6. Diane Roark says

    Janine,

    I love the oldies Christmas music too not to mention how much I love listening to Michael Buble. We were so excited to get to watch his Christmas special. I also love your Christmas cookies. I am sure they not only taste delicious but they are extremely festive too.

    Many blessings,
    Diane Roark

    I love Christmas music too….Jordan Smith on The Voice sang “Mary Did You Know” last night and it was absolutely beautiful. Check it out on YouTube today. You won’t be sorry.

    Happy Tuesday, Janine.

  16. Becca says

    My family baked cookies Sunday and we had music streaming the whole time. I’ve never made peppermint thumbprints before, I only make peanut butter chocolate ones.

  19. Jen says

    Girl you totally know how to rock it! Ditto on your faves! What a great plan and a fabulous phone and that recipe! I totally want to try to make these now. Plus I can’t say enough good things about the prepaid plans available at Walmart!

    Even though I don’t celebrate Christmas I really enjoy listening to Christmas music! “All I want for Christmas is you” is definitely #1 on my list.

    Holiday music and baking are some of my favorite things too. Sometimes I stream music through the Sonos system, but it can be hit or miss. Thumbprint cookies are a Christmas classic; and I know my kids would love them!

  31. Jen says

    Did I already comment on this, because these are worthy of a double comment! Awesome recipe! I love this kind of Hershey’s kisses 🙂
