Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Dec, 2015 02:01 PM

HONOLULU — Just in time for Christmas, President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden are sharing their favourite holiday music on Spotify.

Topping the list for Obama and his wife, Michelle, is "O Tannenbaum" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio as featured in "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

Biden and his wife, Jill, chose an edgier tune for their first pick: Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town."

The couples released a total of 31 songs on the popular music-streaming service, 14 for the Obamas and 17 for the Bidens.

Obama released his summer daytime and evening music playlists this past August when the White House launched an official channel on Spotify.
