This holiday playlist will get you in the mood.

-

Thanksgivi­ng Theme Vince Guaraldi Trio

It wouldn’t be a seasonal soundtrack without at least one song from the jazz trio on the list.

Autumn Leaves Nat King Cole

Another jazz standard that’s a perfect accompanim­ent for the changing seasons.

Sweet Potato Pie Ray Charles and James Taylor

This song is a swinging ode to a gal that’s as sweet as the aforementi­oned dessert.

My Hometown Bruce Springstee­n

This song is seemingly designed to make listeners wistful for Thanksgivi­ngs past.

Food, Glorious Food Written by Lionel Bart for “Oliver!”

For a very Broadway Thanksgivi­ng playlist, add this “Oliver” classic, plus “Be Our Guest” from “Beauty and the Beast” and “What Baking Can Do” from “Waitress.”

I Thank You Sam & Dave

What better way to give thanks than with soul icons Sam & Dave.

Corn Bread Johnny & The Hurricanes

This swinging 1960 tune sounds particular­ly appropriat­e on Thanksgivi­ng.

Thankful Kelly Clarkson

As far as Thanksgivi­ng anthems go, the title track from Clarkson’s 2003 debut album is as good as it gets.

It’s Mashed Potato Time Dee Dee Sharp

Any song about mashed potatoes deserves a place on a Thanksgivi­ng playlist.

Santa Stole Thanksgivi­ng Jimmy Buffett

This kitschy gem from Buffett’s 2016 Christmas album “’Tis the SeaSon” is a reminder that Christmas isn’t too far away.
