The Soundtrack of December: What We’re Listening To at Noms & Bevs
Share
December brings its own energy of being part cozy, part celebratory, and part reflective. It's the month where simple moments feel a little warmer, meals feel a little richer, and the soundtrack in the background matters just as much as what’s on the table. Music sets the mood for everything, whether you’re hosting friends, cooking at home, or strolling through your favorite neighborhood spots.
For us, December isn't about predictable holiday songs or overly festive playlists. It's about finding that balance between familiar warmth and fresh inspiration, the kind of music that pairs well with good food, good drinks, and good people.
The Vibe Behind This Month's Playlist
This playlist leans into:
- Cozy-but-not-sleepy energy
- Warm, melodic tracks that fit perfectly with winter evenings
- A blend of classics + modern picks
- Music that feels festive without overwhelming you with holiday cheer
It's crafted for the spaces where December comes alive: your kitchen, a small dinner with friends, late-night drives, or the gentle hum of a Sunday morning at home.
What Inspired It
December is a month built on contrasts. The calm of quiet mornings and the buzz of year-end gatherings. The playlist mirrors that. We pulled from sounds that feel timeless — soul, indie, jazz, and a hint of holiday nostalgia — without going full tinsel mode.
The inspiration came from:
- Street cafés glowing with warm lights
- The crackle of old vinyl
- Winter flavors and comfort dishes
- The idea that music and meals both bring people together
Just like food, music creates experiences. The right track can make a cup of coffee hit differently or turn a simple dinner into something you remember.
A Few Featured Artists
This month, you'll hear standout tracks from:
- Kacey Musgraves
- Stevie Wonder
- Vince Guaraldi Trio
- Ella Fitzgerald
- Fleet Foxes
Each song was picked with intention, creating a flow that complements the season rather than overpowering it.
How Music & Food Shape Experiences
At Noms & Bevs, we've always said this brand is about more than products, it's about the culture around food, drinks, and the moments they create. Music is a huge part of that. The right playlist can change the pace of a meal, elevate a quiet morning, or add color to a late-night bite.
Food fills the table. Music fills the space around it. And together? That's where memories happen.
