“Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree” performed by Brenda Lee.
I love (loooove) Nutmeg by John Legend and Stephen Colbert. The entire Colbert Christmas album is great imho but Nutmeg is the best by far. Also 12 Days of Pop Punk Christmas is pretty fun.
Tarja Turunen Dark Christmas. It’s not 100% spectacular but it’s close.
The film score from Die Hard.
I am of the opinion that Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
Sarah McLachlan’s album Wintersong is one of my go-tos
Thank you for recommending this! I’ve always liked her song on the Barenaked Ladies Christmas album. Wintersong now has a permanent spot in my Christmas rotation for a relaxing listen.
Glad you enjoyed it! And I just listened to the barenaked ladies christmas album, thanks for the rec! I don’t have many Christmas songs in that style, so it’s good to expand my options.
If you liked Wintersong there’s a chance you may also like Christmas Day by Dido
Fairytale of New York
I’ve been listening to this Spotify playlist called Christmas Rave Music 2024
Look for wassailing music. It’s old caroling music that tends german, and can be a nice change of pace.
