The playlist starts off with the Charlie Brown piano version of "O Tannenbaum."

The 14-song playlist goes on to include a mix of classic Christmas songs (such as Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song") and R&B renditions of holiday favorites (like Destiny Child's "8 Days of Christmas").

It ends with Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina's rendition of "Little Drummer Boy."

This soundtrack must be playing throughout the White House, which is getting decked out to the theme "A Timeless Tradition."

Volunteers spend several busy days transforming the @WhiteHouse for the holidays. As official photographers, we have the privilege of seeing it all come together. It’s fun to wander around the White House with your camera because you never know what you'll see...perhaps a Christmas tree made of candy on an elevator. —Amanda Lucidon, @WhiteHouse photographer. #12DaysOfTakeovers A photo posted by First Lady Michelle Obama (@michelleobama) on Dec 15, 2015 at 1:37pm PST

Before I headed to the @WhiteHouse kitchen to interview Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford for @Tastemade, I got to check out the incredible #WHHolidays decorations! This beautiful walkway — with gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows — had a beautiful array of large snowflakes representing all 50 states. There were also smaller paper snowflakes made by local school children with what they want to be when they grow up written on them!! It was so endearing...especially the one that said "I want to be the President of the United States." —Katie Quinn (@qkatie) #12DaysOfTakeovers A photo posted by First Lady Michelle Obama (@michelleobama) on Dec 17, 2015 at 11:17am PST

And don't worry, Bo gets in on the festivities too.
