Obscure Holiday Songs
December 15, 2017
If you are like me, Christmas songs are simply not your biggest jam; while everyone else is attempting to harmonize with Mariah Carey for an entire month, the decades-old songs (even their best covers) feel so worn out to you. People accuse you lacking holiday spirit and you have been called either a Scrooge or Grinch countless times because of it. Whether that is you or if you are just looking for something different to add to your typical holiday playlist, here are twelve lesser-known songs to listen to over the holidays. I guarantee that these aren’t on the bland radio rotation we have been hearing for years.
- 30 Days ‘Til Christmas- NeverShoutNever
- Christmas on the Road- Sleeping With Sirens
- 10,000 Watts- Crystal Antlers
- Space Christmas- ‘Allo Darling
- Merry Christmas (I Don’t Wanna Fight Tonight)- The Ramones
- Boots- The Killers
- Merry Christmas, Here’s to Many More- Relient K
- Wonderful Christmastime- Paul McCartney
- New Year’s Resolution- Otis Redding and Carla Thomas
- Cool Yule- Louis Armstrong
- Nutmeg- John Legend and Stephen Colbert
- Stay Another Day- Maps
Enjoy a dozen jams to play this season. If you know an additional song that would fit in this list, please leave it in the comments for others to enjoy!
