I think this song you can get away with all year round as it doesn't necessarily sound like a Christmas song. But that doesn't stop me from including it in my countdown.
It first made an appearance back in 2017, and is making it's 5th appearance on my countdown.

I remember this musical being advertised and I wish I'd have been able to head off to South Korea to see it live, but I also hoped it took off so that it could head over to the UK, but I'm just glad they released an OST for it.
I love that the OST is mainly other SM artists songs as it was nice to hear them sung at times by the opposite sex.
I absolutely love One Day One Chance - Original Ver. This is one of my favourite songs from this OST, I've been in love with it since it's release. I love the melody and Changmin's vocals are stunning. Also the whole cast harmonising towards the end is perfect. I still think even 9 years later this song still sounds fresh and new.
One Fine Day is a song that showcases each of the cast. It's a song that catches you off guard as it starts out as a ballad and speeds up at the chorus which I love.
As a SONE, I absolutely loved 소원을 말해봐 (Genie). They all fit this song perfectly, it's definitely another of my favourite tracks that I listen to a lot from this OST. I never felt that the male voices shouldn't be there and I loved that they kept the original lyrics even for the guys.
I feel I'll keep repeating myself with a lot of these songs but as SHAWOL, I was already familiar with Intro - Destination. I love the build-up to the track and it still sounds so good sung by the cast.
While I'm not as a familiar with BoA's song's I knew 아틀란티스 소녀 (Atlantis Princess) was one of hers. I feel that this track was perfect for Seulgi. It really allowed her to shine, especially as a rookie idol. At the time Red Velvet had only released digital singles, so I think it was perfect to bring Seulgi into this musical.
I wasn't as familiar with f(x)'s b-sides, but I knew Pretty Girl. I love the change up to the track and I love how Luna and Seulgi compliment each other on this track.
I love the Mr. Simple/I Got A Boy mashup, that also had the appearance of both Leeteuk from Super Junior and Yoona from Girls' Generation. The mashup works so well together.
Originally sung by Girls' Generation sub-unit TTS, I love hearing Twinkle being sung by the opposite sex. It shows that it works well sung in a lower key. This song suits both Key and Changmin perfectly.
I love listening to One Day One Chance - Original Soundtrack Ver. As is includes the original audio from the musical too. I actually can't listen to the Original version without hearing this version along with it.
I think One Day One Chance (Reprise) really establishes how good the melody for this track is. I love that they each seem to get a line to sing before harmonising again. You can tell this was the closer for the main musical.
I think all SM/SM Town fans know 빛 (Hope) as it's a song that's used a lot to end SM Town concerts, where all the artists come on to perform together. I love this song, I personally think it's a song that lives up to it's name.
Concluding the album we have 으르렁 (Growl)/주문 (Mirotic), which at the time of the OST's release were probably 2 of the most iconic songs from SM. I have to say I love how they all harmonise singing these songs. They all fit the songs together perfectly.
I love how it's not a typical soundtrack of just the songs, and includes dialogue from the actual musical. And I have say that credit needs to be given to Jo Eun as even though she wasn't promoted alongside the rest of the cast, she does sing on the OST and she sounds amazing.
It's odd to think that this musical is nearly 10 years old, I think if something was done like this now it would blow up and hit new heights.

Today's song is one of Skye's favourite songs, and while it doesn't sound like your typical Christmas songs, it does come from one of my favourite Christmas albums.
Today's song is one of Skye's favourite songs, while it doesn't sound like your typical Christmas song, it's still one of our favourites, and Skye definitely loves being able to hear this song at Christmas time. It never fails to have me singing along.
