Christmas music is a genre of music specifically written for the Christmas holiday. Produced mostly between late October and early December, it is generally performed by choirs, orchestras, and bands and often features religious themes and lyrics.
Christmas music has a long history, dating back to the Middle Ages. The earliest known Christmas carols were written in Latin and were sung by monks and nuns. Over time, Christmas music began to be written in vernacular languages, and it became more popular among the general population. By the 19th century, Christmas music had become a staple of the holiday season, and it continues to be popular today.
