Comment:

For many of us, Christmas is the time of year when our ears practically turn to ice and our noses get frozen over in the winter chill. But the season gets a shot of tropical anti-freeze from our playlist of sun-drenched reggae Christmas cuts. Snow-dusted ballads, timeless carols, and seasonal rock classics all sound a lot jollier when some of Jamaica's greatest give them that golden touch. From the lovers rock of Gregory Isaacs to the roots reggae of Toots & The Maytals and the Dancehall rhythms of Yellowman, we've worked up a feel-great holiday playlist direct from the heart of the Caribbean. So who cares if there's a little sand in the turkey and Santa's got a suntan?
