This playlist follows the story from the Grinch’s chilly, scheming solitude into Whoville’s exuberant Christmas morning and his eventual welcome into the community. Whimsical instrumentals evoke snowy hills, comic plotting, and the bustle of the Whos; the vocal songs bring in the story’s Christmas cheer, its famous scowl, and the warmth of reconciliation.
