Holiday by lil nas x

Bad Religion has an actually good album of christmas songs played straight. It's good enough for a listen even if you're tired of the titles. Profit goes to charity.

Also Sting's "If on a Winter's Night" is pretty good all around, if you're into that sort of thing. Definitely none of these are the usual, though there's a lot of leitmotif.

Anything by the following artists in regards to their various Christmas albums;

- Trans Siberian Orchestra
- Two Steps From Hell
- Position Music
- Nox Arcana

They all fall under a sort of mix of 'creepy' Christmas music, but I love them regardless.

But among the filth that is "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and god forbid "Santa Baby", there are a few gems. So why not share your favorites here? The Oh Hellos Family Christmas Album I don't care what anyone says, Trans Siberian Orchestra slaps The Piano Guys' "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" I Am Become Christmas in its entirety "Snow", by Sleeping at Last i know this isn't christmas music but it counts [/quote] Hold up Sleeping at Last has CHRISTMAS MUSIC?!?! Brb lmao I love carols/hmyns more than mainstream christmas music- Carol of the Bells, I heard the Bells on Christmas day, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and O come O come Emmanuel are some of my favorites

- Burnin' X'mas by T.M. Revolution is always a fun one
- Yuki ga futte kita isn't explicitly about Christmas, but it's implied and it's jaunty (don't mind the video, 1992 was a different time)
- Yamashita Tatsuro's Christmas Eve is my mom's favorite
- For the atheists, there's Tim Minchin's White Wine in the Sun
- For the whovians, there's I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With a Dalek
- I always have a soft spot for Communist Christmas
- Da vet du at det er Jul sure does exist
- And last, but not least, who could forget the lovely Jingle Cats!

I'm sorry I have nothing to contribute except search metal covers of christmas songs. It's something my taekwondo instructor taught me to do and it is endlessly entertaining. Any of y'all ever heard Feliz Navidad as an electric guitar solo? Didn't think so.

Also, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey makes me want to throw my ears away.

A Spaceman Came Travelling by Chris de Burgh. I don't especially enjoy most Christmas music but I will always make an exception for this.
