I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day: SoundTrax Digital Audio Download

Bright, cheerful, and propulsive. The arrangement channels the playful irreverence of its source material while keeping the holiday spirit intact, delivering the kind of joyful energy that lands with modern audiences.

High school choirs, adult community ensembles, and holiday pop concert programs looking for a contemporary alternative to traditional carols. This works especially well for directors building a concert around upbeat, radio-friendly material rather than sacred repertoire.

• Blend the choir sound with the accompaniment by having singers listen through monitors or headphones during rehearsal; the groove is the foundation, not the voices.
• Mark phrase beginnings where the arrangement shifts textures or adds layers; these moments keep singers engaged and prevent drift.
• Drill the syncopated rhythmic figures separately before full run-throughs; they anchor the pop-rock feel and require precision even in a secular holiday context.

Pair this with other selections from the Alfred Pop Choral Series to build a cohesive pop-holiday concert, or use it as a high-energy opener or closer for a mixed-genre holiday program. It works equally well as a feature piece or ensemble number within a longer setlist.

• Singing syncopated rhythmic patterns in a pop-rock style
• Matching vocal tone and articulation to recorded accompaniment
• Following contemporary production cues and texture changes
• Reading and performing choral pop arrangements with secure part independence
