In celebration of the holiday season, Billboard has included “Christmas Tree” in its list of “The 25 Best Christmas Songs of the 21st Century (So Far).” The song’s lyrics, exploring themes of longing and comfort, perfectly complement its soothing musical arrangement, making it a timeless addition to any Christmas playlist.
“Christmas Tree,” originally released as part of the soundtrack for the 2021 K-drama Our Beloved Summer, showcases Taehyung’s vocal talent and emotional depth. The song not only captured the hearts of fans but also resonated with a broader audience, securing its place among the best contemporary Christmas songs.
Additionally, Billboard highlighted Taehyung’s new release, “Winter Ahead,” as one of the standout tracks in its list of “The 27 Best Winter Songs for the Season.” The song was praised for its universal appeal and ability to encapsulate the essence of winter through its jazz-pop ambiance.
