Can you use any song in your festive content? Royalty-free Christmas music explained
Before you’ve even started filming your festive videos, you’ll likely have an idea of what music is going to give it the ideal Christmas vibe. But it’s important to remember that you can’t just use any song in your video. You need to have permission from the rightsholder first.
While All I Want For Christmas Is You would instantly give your video a festive feel, no-one wants to get on the wrong side of Mariah Carey and her copyright lawyers! That’s why you’ll want to find a copyright-free track for your video so you don’t run the risk of legal issues.
Your best bet for finding tracks safe to use in your Christmas content is to head to a copyright-free music library like Uppbeat. Here you’ll find a huge collection of awesome festive playlists and sound effects.
