Potang - Winter Joy

It's the holiday season, and of course I have to get something out!
This song is a medley of 4 different songs that my friends love, because this song is a Christmas/Holiday present for them! Hi guys! I hope you enjoy it, even if it's not your style!
I honestly had a blast making it, it's another of those absurdly happy ones that just made me smile while creating it! I managed to make every song happy sounding, even one that sounded very melancholy and emotional. It's what I do best, haha! I took into count what instruments and songs you liked and/or would fit for you, and tried to incorporate them into the song. It's not perfect, and there are some surprises, but I think you'll be happily surprised!
Happy holidays, my friends, let's have a great next year together!

Fun fact: This song was released today, exactly one year after I received FL Studio for Christmas. It's been one year of music production learning!
