It isn’t actually a Christmas song but it was used in a Waitrose ad yonks ago (cover version) but How Can I Keep From Singing by Enya. It’s very haunting yet beautiful. Also silent night by Sinead O’Connor

I'm the man who slits the turkeys throats at Christmas , it's not Christmas until I hear it and another old Lang syne by Dan fogleberg

DoTheNextRightThing · 17/12/2019 17:49

I have a playlist of these specifically!

All I Want for Christmas is New Year's Day - Hurts. It's a very sad song but it's beautiful.

12 Pains of Christmas - Bob Rivers. Hysterical.

X-M@$ - Corey Taylor. Heavy metal Christmas carnage.

I Miss You - Basshunter. It's not actually a Christmas song but it was Christmas in the video and it makes me feel festive.
