Hello everyone

Time for another event now after a bit of a breather! Ariana has released two EPs worth of festive material, including modern Christmas smash 'Santa Tell Me' as a bonus track. She's also featured on Idina Menzel's latest album with 'A Hand For Mrs. Claus'. Perhaps you've not delved into much of her holiday music aside from 'Santa Tell Me' or haven't done so for a while. Now is the time for discovery or a refresher either way as December is here!

Please rate each song below between 0 and 10, with an optional 11 and -1 allowed for your favourite and least favourite. You have until Monday 16th December 23:59 to submit a rate - that's two weeks, so hopefully plenty of time to listen to quite a small pool of songs. Happy rating!

Christmas Kisses

A really good little collection of festive songs from her! I will be listening to these a lot for the next month. I have a soft spot for 'Santa Baby' despite people constantly making fun of her vox sounding lispy in the YouTube comments 'Santa Tell Me' an obvious but worthy 11!

Ooh another ‘Santa Baby’ stan *.* I was very close to giving it a 10 too.

I'd go as far as saying it's my favourite version of the track. Love Eartha's, Kylies and Michael's among the ones I can remember, but Ari's version just gets me.

You know what, I think it might be my favourite version of the song too! I also liked the Glee version performed by Naya Rivera. Kylie's version seems to be the definitive one these days in the UK but I've never got into it sadly.

STM the cleaaarrr highlight, but all of these are very cute!

It's very weird listening to Christmas & Chill after so long and realising it's before the Dangerous Woman era as it sounds like something she'd release now and get hits with off the back of the TUN era!

Thanks to everyone who rated so far! Official deadline has passed but I'm not going to be strict as per usual, if you still want to get a rate in today then that's fine.
