I thought it would be fun to share our Christmas playlists. Here is one of my favorites, Classical Christmas:

I’m not sure if I’ve set up Apple Music sharing so this will work, but here it goes (pretty standard stuff for much of it):

I just started playing it. Nothing wrong with pretty standard stuff!

It started as something to put on in the background when family and friends (often with younger kids) were over, and I’ve added to it over the years so it will get me through many hours. Hence the mix for most of it, but the big grouping of items toward the end from the same albums.
It is a very nice mix. We’ll have all of our family members over for a week over Christmas, so the house will be crowded including with lots of young children. I’ll be playing this in the background as well.

So, weird thing with this link is it takes me to a page in Safari asking me to open it in Apple Music Classical. If I follow the link, it takes me to the App Store page for Classical, even after I download it and then go back to the start and repeat the process. When I click the “Open” link on the App Store page, it doesn’t take me to the playlist. 
Are you saying that the link to the Classical playlist does not open in Apple Music on your device? It does on mine when I click on it but of course I’m the one that posted it.
Not a list, but we love this by Nick Lowe. Not your average Christmas album. So good.

Have you downloaded the classical music app from Apple?
[UPDATE: I restarted my iPad, figuring maybe it didn’t register that I had downloaded the classical music app, and now clicking the link opens the playlist in the classical music app. So all is good! I’ll be listening to this today.]
Not initially, but even after I downloaded it, I got that prompt, and clicking the link (even with the app installed) takes me to the App Store page for the Classical Music app, and clicking the “Open” button on the App Store page just opens the classical music app without loading the playlist.
Here’s the one my family loves this year. It’s on every morning already!

I’m glad to hear that it is now working. For the life of me, I could not figure out what I could have done wrong in sharing the link. I did share it from my iPhone, not my Mac. I hope you enjoy the music. I find it to be soul up lifting for the Christmas season.

Our family’s favorite Holiday album:
We like this playlist, and a lot of the albums and composers you’ll get to from it. It’s better browsed in the Classical app than the regular Music app.
Side note: it frustrates me that the shareable links in the classic app don’t have web previews, e.g.:
Some acquaintances run a really good Christmas streaming station that runs between Christmas Day until early in Epiphany. I’ll have to link once available.

Medieval Renaissance Christmas looks really good. I look forward to listening to that. Thanks for sharing!

Bach’s Christmas Oratorio BWV 248. Every Christmas I try to listen to this with each section playing on the appropriate day. My favourite recording is one by The English Baroque Soloists and the Monteverdi Choir conducted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner. It is available in the Classical app but I prefer to play the CD copy that I keep close by in my kitchen.
