It's no secret that the holidays are often the time of year when people slip out of their workout routines. There are gifts to buy, feasts to prepare, and parties to attend, leaving very little time to hit the gym.

To help you stay fit and festive this winter, we've pulled together the ultimate playlist of uptempo holiday tunes. Wham! and Paul McCartney crank up their Christmas synths, Mariah Carey checks in with a yuletide perennial, and Julian from The Strokes sings a seasonal Saturday Night Live anthem.

Here's the full list, courtesy of RunHundred.com, the web's most popular workout music website.
