One of the films to have performed best in the recently announced Oscar nominations<\/a> is Alexander Payne\u2019s The Holdovers<\/a>, a Yuletide-set comedy-drama that \u2013 despite its baffling UK release date<\/a> \u2013 is already being tipped as a future Christmas classic.<\/p>\n

The film scored five nods from the Academy, including one in the Best Picture category, to add to the seven nominations it had already received at the BAFTA Film Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alongside its impeccable script and performances, one of the many joys of the film is the soundtrack, which includes both original score compositions by Mark Orton and a vast array of beloved Christmas songs, from Silent Night to Jingle Bells.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there are also some hits from a few artists popular in the \u201970s, such as The Allman Brothers Band and Cat Stevens.<\/p>\n

Read on for the list of songs featured in The Holdovers soundtrack.<\/p>
