I've got all the usual suspects on it, but am looking for some less well known songs for a change.

Not a big fan of R&B, but prefer pop/rock/brass bands.

I've recently added Low, Just Like Christmas and Thea Gilmore, That'll be Christmas if that gives you an idea of the sort of thing I like.

Thanks.

Christmas Isn't Cancelled Just You and I'll Be Home For Christmas by Kelly Clarkson are great.

The Pianoman at Christmas by Jamie Callum. The whole album is amazing. How does he fly is wonderful x

I'm the Happiest Christmas Tree by Nat King Cole. An oldie but a goodie, one of DH's favourite Christmas songs.

Sia - Santa's Coming For Us.

Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas.

Joni Mitchell - River. It's such a beautiful song.

Not a song, but an album. Bare Naked For the Holidays by Bare Naked Ladies (the group that sing the theme to Big Bang Theory). You can add favourites from thy album to your play list.

Or as re imagined last year by Drakeford as Driving Home for Easter.

I almost forgot, Aspenglow by John Denver

InnerPlop · 08/12/2024 06:31

Carry You Home by The Lancashire Hot Pots is one of my faves. A lovely song, sums up loss and friendship at Christmas time.

Zonder · 08/12/2024 06:31

The whole of the Cornucopia album by Annie Lennox. Just beautiful.

Makelikeatreeandleaf · 08/12/2024 06:41

I love 'Keeping the dream alive' by Freiheit
Not actually a Christmas song but there was snow in the video so always connected to Christmas for me.

Tabitha500 · 08/12/2024 06:47

Rick Astley - Love This Christmas

Just a nice happy clappy Christmas song!

Broadband · 08/12/2024 06:48

My two, less well known Christmas songs are …
Rebel Jesus by Jackson Browne and White Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchin … both worth a listen.

The Virgin Mary had a Baby Boy - African spiritual beat.

All of ... Peter Combes Christmas Album. It's the Christmas story in his own songs.
