Christmas songs that aren't as well known / popular - Please share

[Whinge]

I've recenty found this lovely song and wondered what other gems are out there that get ignored in favour of the well known (overplayed) Christmas songs.

Any suggestions?🎄🎅🏻

@Scruffington I make up for it now ... love singing this even when it's not Christmas 🪇🪇🪇🪇

That’ll Be Christmas- Thea Gilmore

I love 'Zion's Daughter' by Boney M.

I love Alma Cogan "Never Tango with an Eskimo". Not very PC these days but its on our Xmas album and its a fabulous tune:

Emmy the Great and Tim Wheeler Mrs Christmas https://g.co/kgs/Sn6eEp

agree with the previous suggestions of When the Thames Froze by Smith and Burrows. The whole album is fantastic.

I like Merry Christmas from the Family by Robert Earl Keen

Santa gor run over by my Chevy, by Manic Hispanic

it's impossible not to sing along and have a little shimmy when you hear that song

@Whinge

They are in the navy - it was shared via the navy families group last Christmas and other navy Twitter feeds. I liked it. They also featured it on the warship documentary

When The Thames Froze is my favourite! I remember hearing them play it on Sunday Brunch (I think) years ago and have listened to it every year since.

As a half-Antipodean family, White Wine in the Sun is also a favourite - the "jet lagged baby daughter" line hits home every time.

Less well known (unless you're into your polyphony).

O Magnum Mysterium - Tomás Luis de Victoria.

Elf's Lament by Barenaked Ladies

@Tygertiger KB December Will be Magic Again was on an album called Its Christmas which came out in 1988.

My absolute favourite Christmas song! 😄🎅

Another one I love....

@Scruffington @yellowlane Bucks Fizz covered River as well

Sigrid - coming home to you (the one filmed live at a railway station)

The Band - Christmas Must be Tonight

I love that one! @Tygertiger

@JenniferBooth came on to post Keeping The Dream Alive. I absolutely love it- so underrated.

Ultra Lounge: Christmas Cocktails is a firm family favourite of ours with some really unknown songs and versions of classics...

Shakin Stevens but not the one we all know. It’s called The Best Christmas of them All. I only heard it for the first time about 2 years ago 😶

@TodayForTomorrow Its a beautiful song Such a gorgeous musical arrangement and for me its a Christmas song and should be on the Christmas compilation albums but never is.
