First off - I apologize for this rotation being late, and for the fact that it's relatively small. I changed up the format a bit too - there are only two songs that I commented fully on, and they're more of a bonus than part of the actual rotation since ... they're not winter/holiday-themed, haha.

White X'mas - KAT-TUN
japanese | ballad | emotional, sad, sweet, sincere

Only You (Winter Special) - 2PM
korean | pop | sweet, driven, energetic

Snow Dance winter session - DEPAPEPE
instrumental | acoustic | calm, relaxing, soothing

The Call - Regina Spektor
english | soundtrack | sincere, bittersweet, hopeful

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - AAA
engrish | pop | happy, light-hearted, cheerful

So This Is Christmas (Live) - Luna Sea
japanese | rock | uplifting, powerful, energetic

Winter - ELLEGARDEN
japanese | rock | uplifting, energetic, sincere

Yeo Haeng Gi - Dong Bang Shin Ki (Travelling)
korean | pop/ballad | emotional, uplifting, sweet

Winter Gold - Stephanie
japanese | pop | upbeat, driven, confident

Cirque du Soleil - KA
I had the opportunity to watch this amazing show when I was in Las Vegas, and immediately searched out the soundtrack when I got home. Even listening to it without watching the show is a wonderful experience. I was intending to share the entire album as another rotation, but I couldn't wait. Here are two songs from the soundtrack of Cirque du Soleil's show, KA. These songs are both highly recommended.

Track 1. O Makunde
Track 5. Deep
Both these songs stayed with me because, like many songs on this soundtrack, they are capable of bringing up so much emotion, no matter what that emotion might be. Their vocal work is simply fantastic and has a quality that you simply cannot find in popular music today. O Makunde starts out with a sad tone, but rises with more and more confidence and hope. Deep is extremely sorrowful, but also exquisitely beautiful. The string accompaniment is just amazing.
