Our Brazilian Christmas Song List begins to play in early November every year: A light dusting of Christmas favorites every hour and non-stop Brazilian Christmas Saturdays on The Sounds of Brazil’s streaming station.

Listen Live Anytime

Feel like binge listening? Our 24/7 Brazilian Christmas streaming channel is here for you anytime at Connectbrazil.com. Want to deep dive? You’ll find our Brazilian Christmas song list is here for your listening pleasure through Christmas Day.

It’s a ‘Sounds of Brazil’ Tradition

Over the years, The Sounds of Brazil has created one of the largest collections of Brazilian Christmas music worldwide and we love to add more great songs every year.

There’s a unique and interesting story about how this annual tradition began, back in 1996.

So, here’s my Brazilian Christmas song list of holiday favorites in Portuguese, English & instrumental favorites from Brazil, The USA, Japan, Germany, Italy, and England.

I’d love to see a list of your favorites, too. Feel free to send me an e-mail, any time of year!

Merry Christmas!
