Merry Mele

Tune in to our Hawai‘i-themed holiday playlist.

Nothing heralds the holidays like some festive tunes, which is why we tapped local music aficionados—DJs Tittahbyte, Compose, Delve and Packo, and Aloha Got Soul’s Roger Bong and DJ O’Spliff—for their favorite local holiday songs and compiled them in an awesome playlist. Throw them on during your holiday parties, while cruising the downtown light displays, really any time you’re in need of some cheer—they’ll be your soundtrack for the season.
