A social media sensation who artfully concealed her identity as she shot to fame in 2023, mystery still lingers over quite who Klavdia Petrivna is. This carefully curated playlist offers some hints. “Christmas is far more than just an ordinary holiday in my homeland, Halychyna,” Petrivna tells Apple Music. “It’s a time when generations unite, ancient customs come back to life and homes fill with warmth.” And so the Ukrainian star guides us through the coldest months with an eclectic blend of styles, as Christmas classics from Mariah Carey and Wham! take their place alongside more contemporary festive tunes, as well as a slew of seasonal songs from fellow Ukrainian artists. “I’d like to highlight the tracks from different eras.” she says. “From global classics to the roots of Ukrainian koliadky and schedrivky. The traditions are now more important than ever.”
